PHP Women

Email:

PHPWomen is a user group specifically targeted toward the women in the PHP world. We do not wish to exclude men - rather to encourage women. They are not mutually exclusive after all.

Mission

Our aim is to provide a network of support and mentorship to women, help women become more involved with PHP, increase our numbers at conferences as speakers and attendees, and provide a “female friendly” atmosphere.

History

Starting out on October 8, 2006 as a call for the women of PHP to “stand up and be counted” by Ligaya Turmelle and Elizabeth Naramore, we have since formed an active community that will hopefully continue to grow and flourish for many years to come.

Why a Woman’s Site

The women in the PHP World tend to be few and scattered all over the world, rarely seeing other women at the various conferences, unconferences, user group meetings and social get togethers. By providing this site we hope that the women will not feel so alone and isolated. The men in the PHP World are a very welcoming and acceptable bunch, but sometimes it is nice to talk to another woman either for coding help or for support in the specific issues of being a woman in a male dominated field.

Re: Good editor

I've used Crimson Editor for a while. There was something, I don't recall now, that I didn't like about the UI. I've been using using Programmer's Notepad (http://www.pnotepad.org/) now for a while, which also support a bunch of other languages HTML to Assembler.

Re: need of GET when POST can handle!

While using GET method you can access all form variables with the $_GET array in PHP and while using POST you can access the variables with a help of $_POST. You can also access all variables with a help of $_REQUEST array.

While using GET method all the submitted data is displayed in the address bar. You notice that information which is displayed after “?”, according to php form tutorial, will be something like that:

http ://domain.com/script.php?name1=value1&name2=value2

Re: saving state of an object

Thanks Kathy.
I`m using an m-v-c architecture with a single point of entry ( the controller). I was wondering what alternatives to sessions for storing object states there are within php? I`m playing with the code a bit here as I am learning how to do OO php within a component and service based framework. Im attempting to do a jsp/servlet approach using the basics of J2EE as applied to php.
