A pat on the head

By Harry Fuecks | February 19, 2004 | PHP

Just thought I’d highlight the great work being done by the guys at PHP Application Tools. Not only have they been helping out PHP developers for ages now with their various pat* projects (probably patTemplate is the most reknowned) but they also maintain no less than 8 PEAR packages (been finding XML_Serializer very useful recently). Many thanks!

Would be great to see more PHP developers getting behind PEAR…

We moved to a new server and some Nameservers may have some problems… Should all be working again.

That XML_Serializer does look great!

A little slow to start, but otherwise fine.
