Since those of us in this area seem to be more seasoned PHP programmers and like to bounce ideas around I'd like to make this proposal. How about starting threads on a periodic basis that have a (hopefully) sustained discussion about common programming problems in PHP?
We could take a subject, talk about the common issues and propose a better way of solving the problem. Then as part of the discussion, we could make a sample implementation or implementations and refine it. The code that is generated could not only spark our discussions but could also help other people on the site.
If anyone else is interested, let's take a vote on the first topic.
BTW - If someone has already suggested this, my apologies and I'll be awaiting the flames.
