For those curious, I penned Chapters 9 ('Error Handling'), 12 ('XML and Web Services'), and 13 ('Best Practices'). If you're a reader and have any feedback, I'd love to hear it. Now, for those wondering about my bio: I submitted a few sentences for a bio a few months ago, and somehow one of those got abbreviated to 'Leading PEAR expert' on the main book landing page. For those of you PEAR developers out there (Greg, Josh, Stig, and many more I cannot list), you're the real PEAR experts, and I thank you much for the many hours of coding you've saved me over the years. I only hope my one little contribution (File_Fortune) and many emails on the pear-dev list have helped any of you. PHP Anthology, 2nd Edition is out was originally published 30 October 2007 on https://mwop.net by Matthew Weier O'Phinney.
