Nominees to win the award of October of 2008

Vote
Class:		mysqli.so.php
	Description:	Access MySQl databases with MySQLi compatible API
	Author:	Baris Yuksel
	Age:	18
	Country:	Turkey
Comment:		MySQLi is an extension introduced with PHP 5 to access MySQL databases using an object oriented interface. To use MySQLi objects the MySQLi extension must be enabled. However, only the regular MySQL extension is usually enabled. This class provides a MySQLi compatible API to access MySQL databases using only the regular MySQL extension, so the MySQLi API can be used when it is not enabled in PHP.

Class:		MiniUrl short URL dynamic
	Description:	Create and redirect URL shortcuts
	Author:	Igor Herson Aquino de França
	Age:	25
	Country:	Brazil
Comment:		Short URL redirector sites became more popular recently with the event micro-blogging systems like Twitter. Such systems only allow posting messages of no more than 140 characters in order to fit in the SMS message length limit. This class allows to implement a short URL site in PHP like TinyURL under any domain.

Class:		Threading
	Description:	Create parallel processes with the PHP CLI program
	Author:	Alex B. Snet
	Age:	18
	Country:	Russian Federation
Comment:		In PHP you can use the pcntl extension to create parallel processes that run multiple PHP tasks simultaneously. However, when available, the pcntl extension only runs under UNIX/Linux systems. This class provides an alternative to run parallel processes in PHP without depending on the pcntl extension. It uses the PHP CLI program to start new parallel processes.

Class:		Spell Corrector
	Description:	Suggest corrected spelling text in pure PHP
	Author:	Felipe Ribeiro
	Age:	23
	Country:	Brazil
Comment:		Google provides spelling suggestions to search keywords that seem misspelled. There is already a PHP class that uses that Google search feature to suggest corrections to given text strings that may be misspelled. This class provides a a similar solution to Google "Did you mean" to suggest the correct spelling of words. It uses pure PHP code and does not require accessing remote site.

Class:		Alexa

	Author:	Sergey [YS.PRO]
	Age:	21
	Country:	Belarus
