Jim Plush has posted an offifical release announcement about his latest contribution to the PHP community - a debugging tool combining PHP (through the myBIC framework) and the Firefox FireBug extension.   I put together a couple pieces of technology to give the PHP community a debugger/profiler that should make life easier in the "web2.0" world. Are you tired of echo'ing print statements in your ajax calls? Writing to log files? Firing up big ol debuggers just to see what the value of some array is? Well look no further than the new MyBic PHP Debugger.   The tool is a smaller part of his larger MyBIC framework and can do things like writing log files, echo information back out to the screen, and communicate information back out to the Firefox user. There is a standalone version of FireBug that will be posted for those that don't want to have to install an entire framework to use it.   Keep an eye out (here and on his blog) for the links to the release when it's posted. In the meantime, you can check out a screencast [mov] of the package in action or just the screenshots in the blog entry.

Branching off a bit from his usual PHP video tutorials, Stefan Mischook has posted a different sort of video tutorial - an introduction to MySQL.    I've just released a new video introducing MySQL - PHP's partner in crime. I cover basic topics like: database types, the difference between a database and a spreadsheet, etc.   I also briefly introduce phpMyAdmin given that it is probably the most used MySQL management tool out there today.    He also promises more of these to come, focusing on the PHP and MySQL combination and working with them together practically.

Ilia Alshanetsky has noted that the latest release canidate for the PHP 5.2.x series, PHP 5.2.5RC1, is now available for download.   This RC includes a fair number of fixes since our last release and predominantly works on improving the stability of the 5.2 tree as well as including a small number of minor security fixes. I'd like to ask everyone to test this release against your code and setups, we are aiming for a quick release cycle and user feedback is critical for a successful release.   You can download this new edition directly from here (no Windows builds yet).

The latest release of PHP in the PHP 5.2.x series has been posted for download to the main PHP website today - version 5.2.3.   The PHP development team would like to announce the immediate availability of PHP 5.2.3. This release continues to improve the security and the stability of the 5.X branch as well as addressing two regressions introduced by the previous 5.2 releases. These regressions relate to the timeout handling over non-blocking SSL connections and the lack of HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA in certain conditions. All users are encouraged to upgrade to this release.   Updates in this new version include many security fixes and enhancements - check out the Changelog for complete information.   Check out other comments on the release from Ilia Alshanetsky and Stefan Esser.

As mentioned by the Int'l PHP Magazine and posted on the Help Net Security website, there are some issues with recent releases of phpMyAdmin that can open the door to potential attackers:   Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in phpMyAdmin, a program to administrate MySQL over the web. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project.   There's five issues around the PMA_ArrayWalkRecursive function, the blacklist functionality, cross-site scripting problems, and an issue that allows for the bypassing Allow/Deny access rules. It is recommended that you install the latest version to protect you and your applications.
