John Mertic has a quick note on his blog about the latest release candidate for the Windows PHP installer (PHP5.2.0RC3) and some issues they've been having.    Rebuilt the installer for 5.2.0RC3. Edin was having problems building it so I'm going to do it and upload it; hopefully we can resolve the issue.   It's also noted that if you see issues with using the installer, try removing the previous PHP installation before running it again.

Today I played with using TSocks  and SSH to provide a transparent SOCKS5 proxy to internal hosts in our colo.  Its a pretty easy setup:  {{{  apt-get install tsocks vi /etc/tsocks.conf #define your networks here export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libtsocks.so  ssh -D 9050 username@server.com  }}}  Then you can use all your standard applictions like wget, Mozilla, etc without any reconfiguration.

According to this note from Christian Stocker on the BitFlux blog, the upload progress meter (using the new file upload hooks introduced in recent PHP versions) has finally been included, officially, into PECL.   After some tweaking, code improvements and remote code execution vulnerability fixes, I finally put the uploadprogress extension into PECL.   Windows users might be out of luck for a while though, since Christian's not pursuing binaries for the package. However, the source is there, and anyone is more than welcome to try...
