Develop With PHP? Are you in the PHP Throwdown?

Do you develop applications with PHP? Have you entered in the PHP Throwdown? The PHP Throwdown is a contest where PHP developers have 24 hours to build an application, based on a concept or categories that have yet to be announced. The rules for the contest outline everything that you need to know. You only have 24 hours, you can code in teams, the app must be written primarily in PHP, but you can use Flex for the front end (if you're an experienced PHP developer then you know that Flex works great with PHP, can make your app look awesome and takes very little coding time, right? :) ).

Adobe is sponsoring the event, with a copy of Flex Builder with Charting to members of the winning teams. Check out the other prizes as well - pretty impressive!

There are a hundred teams entered already, if you haven't got your team ready, what are you waiting for? Sign up now. The PHP RIA SDK Mailing List is a good place to find other team members.

I am new to Flex and very excited to see that it can use PHP as a backend request processor. A quick question for you...Is there a Flex demo with source code available that demonstrates error handling from PHP and/or MySQL? Thanks so much for your article on integrating Flex and PHP...if I decide to buy Flex 2, it will be because of its ability to write cool frontends for PHP.
