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.
