According to a post on php.net, PHP has been accepted to be a Google Summer of Code project. The PHP community further adds saying that, we would like to take this opportunity to say thanks to Google Inc. for this privilege to participate once again, and would like to invite everyone to look at our list of ideas: http://wiki.php.net/gsoc/2008. Students are of course more than welcome to come up with their own ideas for their proposals and we will consider each and every application that we will receive.

Some of the projects proposed in the project includes:

* PECL, website improvements and Windows Build Support
* Automatic Code Checker
* Implement Unicode into PHP 6
* Build Infrastructure and macro bindings for writing extension in D
* Rewrite the run-tests.php script
* PhD: The PHP based Docbook renderer
