Ilia Alshanetsky, still wearing his RM hat, announced the final tally of votes for features in PHP 5.3.

Unit Testing is often seen as an arcane, time consuming task - which it sometimes can be! But the point of spending time writing tests is to improve the quality of your source code so it has fewer overall bugs, many of which are detected early, a continual testing process to prevent new changes from changing the behaviour of older code, and to provide confidence that your code can be depended on. There are other benefits too, and we'll detail these later.

It has been a very long time since the last Suhosin extension has been released, but today this has changed with the release of Suhosin 0.9.21. Among the changes are two new features that will protect applications that put too much trust into the SERVER variables from several XSS (and SQL injection) attacks. These features are suhosin.server.strip and suhosin.server.encode.

There are six classic ways to group the servers that your web-based applications run on. Many small PHP shops start small, and scale up their applications when necessary. However popular your customer’s website, all web-based applications written in PHP can be refactored to run on any of the classic architecture solutions, allowing you to grow with the demand that you’re experiencing.

Server-based solutions, implemented with Flash, JavaScript or pure CSS, offer a more flexible alternative. In fact, since Flash offers significant advantages over static data presentation with CSS and JavaScript, most solutions use it for dynamic data visualization. The data itself is often stored in XML-files which are loaded and updated via PHP or ASP. The price range varies enormously — depending on the flexibility and level of customization you’d like to have. However, if you don’t want to pay, you don’t have to — there are powerful free solutions as well.

The application stack of these Web applications is very different from the stack that mission-critical applications in the financial world are built with.

Now, why do I think that Prado is far superior to VCL, and why would it have been a better choice:

Running phpunit --group bug42 AllTests.php will run only the tests associated with bug #42, regardless of what files and groups those test methods span.

PHPIDS (PHP-Intrusion Detection System) is a simple to use, well structured, fast and state-of-the-art security layer for your PHP based web application. The IDS neither strips, sanitizes nor filters any malicious input, it simply recognizes when an attacker tries to break your site and reacts in exactly the way you want it to. Based on a set of approved and heavily tested filter rules any attack is given a numerical impact rating which makes it easy to decide what kind of action should follow the hacking attempt. This could range from simple logging to sending out an emergency mail to the development team, displaying a warning message for the attacker or even ending the user’s session.

The phar extension provides the phar stream wrapper and the Phar class for manipulating self-contained PHP Archive (phar) files. The Phar class can be used to create and to extract contents of phar files as well as iterating over their contents. PHP Archive files (Phars) are special collections of files that can be transparently run right out of the file, similar to Java's jar archive files.
