We are proud to announce the release of version 0.9 or LeafRSS! This version includes full smarty template integration, as well as options to embed the articles in another web page, or even to allow the output of the filter as an RSS feed.   A patch file has been included to upgrade from version 0.8 to avoid any loss of data. Please see the PATCH file for details.  This will be the final major release before we release our first stable version.  If you have any questions or discover any bugs in this version, please post them either in the Help section of our sourceforge forums or in our sourceforge bug tracker. We would appreciate any input you could give us to help us test this release in preparation for moving this project to stable status.  More detail is available at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/leafrss

In his continuing effort to redesign his blog, Shiflett.org, he's been working on one of the things that really makes a blog useful - the commenting system. Specifically, he wants site visitors to be able to add their own code listings to the comments they post. He gives more detail in this new post.   I've been playing with this tonight. Feel free to follow along as I go. The first thing you want to do is create an ordered list from the code you want to format ($code in these examples).   He gives an example of a listing using his system and explains how it all works. It's a mixture of:  PHP for parsing the data inside the 'code' tags CSS to correctly style the information, whitespace and all Some ini settings to set parameters for... ...the use of highlight string on the PHP code contents  A little str_replace magic later and you have list items styled as code blocks on your page. Check out his demo for an example.

Ligaya Turmelle has relayed some great news in her latest blog entry, something that the web's been needing for a long time - a new group from the W3C created specifically for enhancing the HTML standard.   Now I have to admit to being curious about what is going on - after all anything new dealing with the web affects me as PHP coder. Since the W3C is supposedly interested in input from the Web community and content developers, I decided to see who from PHP would be there. Granted it is very early for the formation of the group so it didn't really surprise me to see no one from PHP that I know or heard about in there, but I wonder if anyone from the PHP Group will become a "invited expert" somewhere down the road.   The group is looking for members to help define this next generation of markup on the web. Check out their page for some of the qualifications needed to participate and for some of the upcoming events.W3C Launches New HTML Working Group

In this new article from PHPBuilder.com today, they walk you through the creation of an online photo gallery system, complete with all of the (simple) features you'd expect.    You've seen them all over the web--image galleries for your viewing pleasure! You've looked for decent image gallery software, but none of them seem to suit your needs, while others have a lot of extra features you don't need. And while you've seen some others that are just what you're looking for, you can't easily integrate them into your website. To solve this problem, I wrote my own photo gallery script and I'm going to share it with you in this article.    They start off with an overview of how the script/site will be set up, and quickly move into the HTML for the pages (the "easy part"). Once they have that and some CSS out of the way, they show some of the PHP code that will get you started. Of course, this is only part one, so you'll have to come back for the rest of the story...

Patrick Chanezon sayz :  "I got some pretty good feedback after my post Java Syndication Babel: let's paint the picture together!, mainly from the Rojo/Feedparser team."  ...  "Then the Rojo/Feedparser team, Brad Neuberg and Kevin Burton posted some good comments. I agree with Kevin that we don't necessarily need a JSR and should start collaborating now. From Kevin and Brad it seems like what we should work on first is defining a common set of Unit Tests, and a way to get a DOM-Rome-like API on top of their SAX-like API."  So check out the list  and the wiki .  Hopefully we'll be able to collaborate and make some forward progress.  I'm sure everyone will benefit.  The more I think about a ne ...

This is interesting .  43Things has tags as well!  A lot of people are using the Flickr dynamic and bold font treemap view which I'm not sure is good or bad. I've never been fully happy with this view but a lot of people seem to like it (so what do I know!)

Wednesday we pushed a new build of Rojo  which introduced a few new and important features:  * Tags *  Chris does a good job of explaining  tags so I'll start there:  "Feeling taggy? Some prominent bloggers have been talking about tags and there have been some fascinating discussions about how tags, also known as keywords, can facilitate the "merging of personal information architecture and public/shared/group/emergent information architecture." But if you have been using sites like del.icio.us or Flickr you don't need to read this high-brow stuff to know: tags are cool. They are an easy way to categorize your stuff and a great way to see what your friends are categorizing as well."  Tags ar ...
