The next PHP User Group Meeting will be held Friday October 7, 2005. The
featured speaker is Andrei Zmievski, Senior Software Engineer at Yahoo!.
Andrei will discuss PHP 6 and Unicode.

Location: ActiveState, 580 Granville Street Vancouver
Date: Friday October 7th, 2005
Time: 6:30 to 8:00PM

Description: Up to now, PHP has provided only marginal multibyte and Unicode
support. In this age of international business and globalization, the less
than full Unicode functionality is unacceptable. This session covers the
work being done on the native Unicode support in PHP 6, based on the ICU
library. 

About Andrei: Andrei Zmievski works on internal tools at Yahoo! Inc.
specializing in i18n and infrastructure software, such as PHP and Apache. He
is also a core PHP developer, leader of the PHP-GTK project, and a co-author
of "PHP Developer's Cookbook" and Smarty templating system. His current
focus is the native Unicode support in PHP. In his free time he studies
languages and linguistics, goes sailing, and travels to other countries.


Admission is free, and everyone is welcome to attend this event.
