In this article, we are going to tackle this subject and present some real-world applicable solutions.First of all, this article presumes that you either have a web server of your own or one that you pay for (as a web space) with the necessary server-side services already running and configured appropriately (PHP, MySQL, Apache, etc.).

Paul and Sean over at php|architect have released the latest episode of the P3 podcast for May 1st, 2008 - "The Twitter".

Still no resolution on the USB audio problem. iPod failed, too. That leaves us with 2 laptops and internal mics. I'm eagerly anticipating 10.5.3, and if that doesn't fix it, I'm going back to 10.5.1. Fail.

Topics mentions are php|tek (coming soon to a Chicago near you!), type hinting and the optimizer Google Summer of Code discussions on the Internals side and the "making WP themes from scratch" and Magento talk on the community side.

You can either pull their feed into your aggregator to get this and other great P3 episodes or you can just download the mp3 directly and enjoy.
