Building web sites with PHP is easy. Building secured web sites--in any language--is hard. The end result is many PHP sites with security issues. I thought therefore it would be a good idea to put together a top ten list of mistakes to avoid, so that beginners have something concrete to check their work against, instead of fuzzy...

I want to protect myself from if someone with a fast connection hammers my site. It's not denial of service attacks, but offline downloaders (of course that don't show they're offline downloaders in the useragent so I can't filter them by that). My main issue is my site is PHP so if they hammer it, it gets all the PHP files executing and...

Hi I've seen this a few places - The site lists off the number of people (not logged in) currently browsing the site. How can I do this with php / mySQL please?

Before I begin let me thank the many people in this group who have helped me over the last few years. It has been greatly appreciated. For the last several years I have been coding all server code in php. I love the language. However, I live in an area (in the midlle of a triangle formed by Orlando, Tampa and Gainesville) that seems to...

Hi there, I'm starting to learn php and need a php editor for windows. Can you recommend what you think the best editor available in the market? I've tried some free html editors and was not satisfied with them. I need one that is simple and neat, but can display different color on different part of the script if you know what I mean.

I am just starting to use Object Oriented PHP coding, and I am seeing quite often the following (this example taken from a wiki): $wakka =& new Wakka($wakkaConfig); What exactly is the =&, and why is it different from = ?

I still don't get the point of using nameservers. The fuss that's been going on because PHP didn't have support for them is still unclear to me. Having functions and classes with the same names, but on different containers? What is it useful for? Besides having all MySQL functions in a MySQL namespace, SQLite on another, etc... I don't see...

Hello everyone and happy Sunday. :) Can anyone advise if using a single database class for a single domain and 1 subdomain is the correct way to go? I have: mydomain.com (and) sub.mydomain.com I would like to use a single script to connect to the database. Is this advisable? The subdomain is the private side and the domain is the public...

I wouldn't consider myself a newbie to PHP since I have never written one line of code in it (am a perl guy myself), but part of a team I am working with is writing some php interfaces into a database and I noticed that they are relaying on HTML form value names to always be lowercase in their code (ie $_POST (fyi that may be typed wrong))...

hii guys !! I have a website where in i was listing all the mobiles in a page like 1.nokia 3310 2.motorola p150 3. .. so each mobile has description page . so i was passing the model(3310) and brand(nokia) in url to a page (mobile_desc,php) where i was getting the $_GET variables and querying it .

This is a best practices question. For a website where PHP is used, does it make sense to have both .htm and .php files? In other words, for pages that have no active content there's no point in naming them with a .php extension. Is there any advantage or disadvantage to making all files .php, or the same for mixing them with .htm files?...

I'm not sure how this is normally done, on a large site, perhaps one running Phorum. Occassionally a thread will have hundreds of entries, perhaps a meg or two worth of data. You won't necessarily print all that to the screen, but PHP has to hold it in memory. Run some operations on it, or, more likely, have an array that you keep adding...
