Hello
I'm about to write a prototype for a business application, but since
this my first real web application, I'm looking for a good book or
article that sums up the different issues web developers will
encounter when coming from the world of dedicated applications (VB,
Delphi, etc.)
I'm thinking of issues specific to web apps like the statelessness of
HTTP, dealing with the back button, etc.
Any good resource? It'd be even better if they have examples in PHP,
but a language-agnostic resource is good enough.
Thank you!

php.net has the majority of what you will need, i find the user
commenst to be the most useful part.

First and foremost: Don't trust user input. Ever.
In other words: whenever you receive data from the user (usually by a posted
form, or by some GET variables), clean, check and double-check the data for
validity. Don't ever assume that the user has put a valid value in a form
input field.
Another point to take into account: Every page is a *different* run of your
program. HTTP is a stateless protocol, ya' know. That means:
- - Be careful when passing data from one page to another
- - Be careful about race conditions

Thx guys. So, no article or book on the subjet?
The info you are looking for is usually scatterd among different sites and books. The OReilly online book store is usually a good place to start (www.oreilly.co m).
But if you need an overview, have a look at the book:
"Deliver First Class Web Sites: 101 Essential Checklists"

OK, but my question isn't specifically about security. It's a more
general question about the web-specific issues that desktop
applications don't have to deal with.

The number one thing is understanding the difference between client-side

Should I just avoid them?
I have heard many bad things about them
1) if you set a signal handler, you can't really ignore the signal and
continue with normal program execution, because after that undefined
behavior is invoked.
2) if you have a signal handler set for say SIG_INT and you continue
to reset the handler after you received the signal, to continue normal
program execution, and the signal is received twice or something you

Guess this has probably been reported already. Seems if you don't use {}
with for/while etc., the debugger stops at the wrong line. In the example
below, I had a breakpoint at line 6 but the debugger stopped in every
iteration of the loop.

We need to set up a server 2003 (or a win XP system) to accept
and act upon traps sent out from a storage system. Responding
to various error conditions, this system can be fully configured to
send traps.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
