    http://www.phparch.com/c/magazine/issue/65 IIRC the article on modelling dependencies shows exactly how to do this, with php code.

    There have been a couple recent PHP Security books.

    Yes, I am affiliated with the publisher of the book I linked--but it's a good book! (-:

    I have a few articles on my Web site that might be informative: http://shiflett.org/articles

    I'm also writing a monthly PHP security column in php|architect, and these articles will be available for free six months after publication.

    Lastly, I am writing PHP Security for O'Reilly, which is due out in the fall.

    Although it is PHP-specific, this free article explains XSS and CSRF in quite a bit of detail and might be useful for Web developers using any language:

  6. Re:PHP and Java by version5 · · Score: 2, Insightful · on JSP and Tag Libraries for Web Development
    This is part of Sun's new goal to evangelize Java by simplifying it, and bringing in the VB and PHP programmers. With the emphasis on JSTL and using tag libraries instead of mixing code and HTML, they are going one step further than PHP and hoping to encourage people with only HTML experience.

    Unfortunately, this move might kill PHP as a serious development platform. If Java handles all the heavy lifting, will PHP will be relegated to basically writing out HTML tags? This gives PHP programmers access to a vast and robust enterprise-quality set of libraries, as well as 3rd party libraries like Jakarta Commons. The quality of the PHP libraries just isn't where it needs to be in order to support real enterprise-class applications.

    The CEO of Zend claims that PHP is simply better than JSP for web development. That's completely wrong. PHP is sucessful for only one reason: Its simple. If PHP wants to get into the enterprise game, its going to end up sacrificing much of what made it good in the first place. PHP's core principles are fundamentally at odds with standard enterprise practices, since its main advantage is as a quick and dirty solution. It seems like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole, and probably driven mostly by Zend trying to create revenue rather than a grassroots movement amongst PHP developers - the general consensus seems to be "Why do we need this?"

  11. Various PHP ramblings by mgkimsal2 · · Score: 4, Informative · on PHP4 Web Development Solutions

    I see Wrox is turning up the heat on the PHP book market, and while I understand there are many costs involved in publishing, these larger books are, in many cases, not cost effective.

    Wrox has a PHP string handling book coming out, as well as a few others, in the 250-300 page target range. However, I have a feeling these will still be $40+. I'm not sure if Wrox is heading towards ebooks or not, but topics like these deserve to be $15 ebooks, not $45 hardcovers.

    PHP has numerous books covering different topics, a professional support organization and training courses. (subtle plugs!) What's next on the horizon?

    I see the publisher of phparch.com (good magazine!) has an early PHP->C converter which speeds up code dramatically. Umbrello is a UML modeller for KDE which generates PHP code. I saw refernces to a PHP/Tk/DHTML project, but forgotthe link. Any other cool PHP things people know about?
