Hi to everyone who was at last night's San Francisco PHP Meetup listening to a big session by Dustin on the Symfony Framework.

The capabilities of Symfony and all the other PHP frameworks are just fantastic.

After Dustin wrapped up, I grabbed the floor to mention the two PHP events I'd blogged about here.

Thanks to Oracle Technology Network (the place to go for technical information on Oracle) for the cute & cuddly ElePHPants that I gave away. The correct answer to the first question was "LIME" (the name for the Symfony's unit test framework). Most people got this, so the first hand up was rewarded. A+ to everyone for concentration. The second question, "What is the difference between ZF and SF?" stumped people for a few seconds, before the obvious joke answer won the prize.

Thanks also to CNET for hosting the Meetup, as they do every month.
