Hi Peter (and list),

That's probably because I didn't include an explicit "List" thing.

I'll be there, and I think Sam and Peter will be too. I
think Paul will be (considering he works nearby), but can't remember if he's 
on holiday this week or not. Kat & Rowan won't be however.

XMLRPC & SOAP are ways of executing functions/routines/methods where
the actual work takes place on a remote server, but it's transparent
to you (the caller). I'll illustrate how to do this in PHP, with
examples from the Zend Framework (Zend_XmlRpc) and using the native
SOAP extension.
I'll cover some of the design/implementation decisions we made.

Finally, I'll show anyone who uses Vim how to use xdebug with PHP.
This allows for an interactive debugging of your script - so should
save you from having to do 'var_dump($_POST);' like things to figure
out what's going on, as you can 'dump' variables, follow the code
execution path and suchlike.

You're welcome to bring your laptop; however,. if it's running the
latest version of [k]ubuntu and not working, there's likely to be 
little I can do

David.
