There’s a bit of me in PHP!
Last October I found a bug in PHP’s SOAP module. It was pretty obscure bug in the way PHP used Digest authentication. As it was a showstopper for me, I submitted a bug report and wrote a patch to fix it.
It took a while, but my patch has finally been merged into the 5.* and 6.0 sources!
I’ve been using PHP for ten years, and so it’s perhaps a little surprising it’s taken me this long to give anything back. Truth is, this was the first time I’ve come across a bug which halted my development work.
It’s a tiny fix, 6 lines of code, but it makes me happy that after all this time, finally, there’s a bit of me in PHP! Hurrah for open source software!

Open source is awesome–my computing teacher agrees

SOAP is too large.
What about PHPRPC?

@ntsys, I specifically needed SOAP. It didn’t work, I fixed it, hence the post
