If you live in a larger city, odds are there's a PHP user group nearby. You can easily find your local PUG at
the usergroup-list at php.net which is based upon PHP.ug. Alternate sources might be
Meetup.com or a search for php user group near me using your favourite search engine
(i.e. Google). If you live in a smaller town, there may not be a local PUG; if that's the case, start one!
Special mention should be made of two global user groups: NomadPHP and PHPWomen. NomadPHP offers twice monthly online user group meetings with presentations by some of the top speakers in the PHP community. PHPWomen is a non-exclusive user group originally targeted towards the women in the PHP world. Membership is open to everyone who supports a more diverse community. PHPWomen provide a network for support, mentorship and education, and generally promote the creating of a "female friendly" and professional atmosphere.
