CURL_PROGRESSFUNCTION patch
The patch has been merged into PHP > 5.3.0 RC2.
A patch against the PHP_5_3 sources from CVS that adds the possibility to define a callback function to display CURL up/download progress: php_curl_progress_callback.patch (Updated 2009-04-28, thanks to Tobias Kemmer and Renato Braga for the comments).

PHP Bug #41712 tracks if/when the patch will be integrated in the main PHP sources.
PHP example code that illustrates how to use the patched extension:
$ch = curl_init("http://www.php.net");
$fp = fopen("index.html", "w");
/**
* If this function is executed, the patch was successfully applied.
* Note that this test script is just using $b.
*/
function curl_progress_callback($a=0, $b=0, $c=0, $d=0) {
echo "curl_progress_callback($a,$b,$c,$d)\n";
}
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION, 'curl_progress_callback');
curl_exec($ch);
echo curl_close($ch);
fclose($fp);
Arabic PDF generation in PHP
This is a small example that illustrates how to generate Arabic PDF documents using PHP, Zend Framework 1.5 or higher and PostArabic.
I'm planning to further simplify the Arabic PDF generation using a PHP extension or PHP code that provides the shaping functionality.
To start experimenting yourself, just download arabic_pdf_zend_postarabic.zip and follow the instructions in the README file.
