Prado looks a lot like ASP, but for PHP5. While it’s not my style, maybe you can show Java/Microsoft types that PHP can work the way they’re used to. Also: what does “the PHP way” really mean?

I was talking with Matthew this morning, and he asked if I was setting up a methodology to create forms using table definitions. My answer was “yes!”.

After a bugfix release, I’ll be able to start adding new functionality, instead of adjusting/tweaking/breaking/fixing current functionality. Read on for some short change notes, and a brief note related to Solar_Filter and Zend_Filter comparison.
