I would be delighted to co-write an article on PHP + Data-Push Functions in
PL/pgSQL architecture with you.

For example, a fun one would be to do "Powerful search screens with PHP, and
PL/PgSQL Set Returning Functions"

Also, several magazines ... such as Linux Magazine and Linux Journal, and
possible Open ... would be happy to print a multi-part series on a simple
PHP/PostgreSQL application.

Either way, I'll be happy to participate. Plus, we're starting the overhaul
of Techdocs so that posting articles will be easier.
