Zend/PHP Conference & Expo
Who can afford to pay the $995 to go to one of these? Has anybody here ever attended one of these? Is it worth the friggin thousand dollars it costs to go?

These sites use PHP? The only extreeemely large site I've seen using PHP is Yahoo. I'm sure other sites do as well but their mod rewrites make it hard to tell.Featuring speakers from companies such as Zend, IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, Google, Amazon, EBay, and Digg
Set Search Time - A google chrome extension. When you search only results from the past year (or set time period) are displayed. Helps tremendously when using new technologies to avoid outdated results.

This is a bit off-topic....
but why do people go so out of their way for a mod-rewritten URL that looks worse than if they just left it alone? I can see optimizing URLs for search engines, but they don't even do that!
For example:
http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/features/ ... ades/week8
I was just actually reading that, so it's not like I went searching for a long url. Perhaps it's for organization.. but that is 6 "directories" deep.

still looks better than http://www.sportsline.com?controller=nf ... des&week=8

These aren't directories, they are being parsed by a front controller. That's why http://www.sportsline.com/monkey/bananas/shake works.scottayy wrote:I was just actually reading that, so it's not like I went searching for a long url. Perhaps it's for organization.. but that is 6 "directories" deep.
