PHP tutorial recomendations
Does anyone have any recommendations for some good PHP tutorials? I love http://www.codecademy.com and its approach to Javascript and Web fundamentals, but I’ve been unable to find a whole lot for learning PHP basics.

June 21 Meeting: Easy & Awesome Data with Graphite & StatsD by Justin “Rockstar” Carmony
Have you ever wanted to track something and see how it changes over time? Meet Graphite & StatsD, a combo of tools that make real-time tracking an extremely easy breeze. We’ll talk about how to set it up, how to start sending data to it, and how to get the most from your graphs & data. Time permitting, and I’m feeling a little adventurous, we’ll add some real-time tracking live to a production site to show how easy it is.
The details are same as usual – 3rd Thursday of the month (6/21), 7pm, at C7′s Bluffdale Datacenter, with afterparty at Draper Applebee’s (123rd south, just east of I-15). This will be an awesome presentation… see you there!

How to fix the default Apache etag configuration.
By default Apache uses “INode MTime Size” for FileETag. This is a problem if you have multiple servers for the same file, as the inode will be different on each server. Changing this to “MTime Size” will fix the problem.
This appears to have finally been fixed in Apache 2.4, which defaults to “MTime Size”.
