Topic awaiting preservation: PHP...ltns (Page 1 of 1)

Hello Fellas,

I've been, occasionaly, using PHP for 3 years now and not really following it up nor the new tricks and trends.

I got couple of questions:

1)
Can someone recommend a good website talking about how to promote the code
so it becomes more secure and less prone to attacks such as SQL injection or
buffer overflows, etc...

2)
Can anyone recommend a good / new book talking about PHP's techniques or
facilities that compete/parallel w/ .NET Framework?

When I code a PHP project, I almost use same (custom written) functions and
code snippets in the new project. Somehow a tedious copy/paste and slight
modification from a project to another.

Since I don't want to re-invent the wheel and create some sort of a
framework for myself, I ask if there is something (1st) official then if
there are some 3rd party (opensource) PHP framework projects.

I found some security information, hope it helps:

Hi and welcome!

Good links on security above.
Basically the principle is the same for all applications where you rely on user input. Never ever trust the users input to be nice/correct...
Stick to that and it will take you a long way.

2. Books... not really.
For PHP I use the manual & various online forums.
I'm thinking on getting some books on more advanced oop development and system architecture though.

PHP frameworks...
Where to begin?
Google: Results 1 - 10 of about 16,400 for "php framework". (0.23 seconds)...

To me a framework is a collection of tools more than an application in a box and
here you have a discussion with links to several examples.
As for best? It all depends on what you need.
Official variant? Not really, PEAR would probably be the one closest to that in my view.
