The bad news: PHP has lots and lots of useful built-in functions I don&#8217;t know about.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve posted my 2010 NCAA Men&#8217;s Basketball Tournament randomized bracket generator. It&#8217;s a quick way to pick winners for your bracket pools. It simply weights each game by the teams&#8217; tournament seedings. It ain&#8217;t fancy, but if you&#8217;re tired of spending hours trying to pick the winners only to find you&#8217;re out of the competition [...]]]></description>

The 5.2.0 version of Komodo Edit has just been released. In addition to some bug fixes and UI features, the release notes indicate that support for PHP 5.3.0 has been added, including code completions for name spaces and syntax coloring of latest keywords (&#8220;namespace&#8221;, &#8220;use&#8221;, &#8220;as&#8221;, etc&#8230;).
