Specific problems *may* provide you with some nice content, but I believe that generalised, but IN DEPTH tutorials are what is needed. Realy no need to preach your philosophy or anything like that (i've seen too much of that), but I believe well structured, in depth tutorials on some of the curly topics will provide a strong user base hanging on your every word... rather than providing a one-off sample, I think tutorials need to be about teaching the person to stick up for themselves -- write their own regular expressions, validate their own unique forms, deal with their own file systems, manage their own data, build their own do-hickeys, rather than seeing a simple sample that skims the surface. On a side topic, the PHP manual is very thin -- it make makes a lot of assumptions about the programmer's general knowledge, a set of REALY basic tools (error handling, 'or die', etc etc come to mind) that turn home-made php messes into real-world solutions would be outstanding!!
