25 Dec 2007Thanks very much to everyone who participated in this year's PHP Advent Calendar. The entire calendar is available at the following URL:

For reference, the complete list of entries is below. (See also Chris Cornutt's list and Sean Coates's calendar.)

Coordinating this turned out to be a lot of work, but I hope to do it again next year. There are lots of people in the PHP community who have something useful to share, and one reason to continue putting this calendar together each year is to get some original content published in December, a month when many people get busy, and blogs go dormant. With a little bit of prodding, we all hopefully learned a little more than we would have otherwise, and the people who were gracious enough to share something deserve our thanks.
Happy holidays, everyone. See you in 2008.
