8 Must Have PHP Quality Assurance Tools

In a world focused on rapid deployment and a “ship now, worry later” mentality, a focus on quality is a rare sight, especially when dealing with the web. One of our authors recently directed my attention to Sebastian Bergmann’s site, PHP QA Tools. The site is a simple list of interesting tools that can help you properly test your application, while also analyzing it and producing interesting data for you to look at. This post will be little more than a re-iteration of some of those tools with added information, use cases and advice about them – however, we’re open to expanding this list with other QA tools you throw our way that get plenty of votes in the comments below or seem interesting and/or useful enough. 1.

Setting a timeout for PHP sessions.

I'll describe two commonly used methods to control the lifetime of a session, and show how to do so in your code. The problem PHP's session mechanism allows us to store data for clients on the server to make it persist through multiple requests. However, because the data itself is stored on the server, and the only thing connecting client's to their respective sessions on the server is a simple cookie, this creates a major security concern.

An exploit known as session hijacking is when a malicious third party intercepts or steals the session cookie from a client, and uses it to access the data from an active session. The server can do little to defend against this because it has no way to tell the original client from the hijacker. PHP Cheat Sheet.

PHP: a fractal of bad design - fuzzy notepad

Preface I’m cranky. I complain about a lot of things. There’s a lot in the world of technology I don’t like, and that’s really to be expected—programming is a hilariously young discipline, and none of us have the slightest clue what we’re doing. Combine with Sturgeon’s Law, and I have a lifetime’s worth of stuff to gripe about. This is not the same. (86) Phil Sturgeon's answer to PHP Frameworks: Laravel vs CodeIgniter: which one is recommended.  5 Things CodeIgniter Cannot Do (without a rewrite) Now that PHP 5.2 is gone from my life entirely I am a happy man.

 5 Things CodeIgniter Cannot Do (without a rewrite)

As I don't use PHP 5.2 anymore I no longer need a 5.2 framework, so I quit the CodeIgniter team and started focusing on my new job. Kapture is all PHP 5.4, and PyroCMS is moving to be PHP 5.3, so I can use anonymous functions, short ternary operators, namespaces, go fully PSR-2 and use Composer all the way. PHP 5.3 is a massive change from PHP 5.2 as of course it was meant to be PHP 6, so while it might SEEM like a small update it's really not. It opens up doors to whole new possibilities, a newer more mature style of programming and sucks SO MUCH LESS than earlier versions of PHP. PHP: The Right Way. Syntax Check PHP 5.3 File.

PHP Code Checker - Syntax Check for Common PHP Mistakes. PHP Image Rotation Iphone Portrait EXIF Orientation GD2 and imagemagick Libraries. I was adding PHP image upload and delete functions to an application the other day – when I came upon a few problems.

PHP Image Rotation Iphone Portrait EXIF Orientation GD2 and imagemagick Libraries

The iPhone 4S images that were taken in Portrait mode, and then uploaded, did not display with the appropriate portrait orientation (The orientation of the camera relative to the scene, when the image was captured.). They were saved on the iPhone, still in the Landscape mode – although they were taken as Portrait. For whatever reason, the iPhone 4S saves both Portrait and Landscape images with the same Landscape (Width greater than Height) display orientation. The Problem: I can’t use the standard methods to detect which image is actually portrait or landscape – as both Landscape and Portrait are saved as width=”3264″ height=”2448″.

The Portrait images uploaded were displaying as Landscape. The Solution: Read the EXIF Header Data within the image.

Typically, there are two main ways of debugging server-side code: you can utilize an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) with a built-in debugger or log and perform your debugging processes in a web browser.

This article shares an elegant, simple, and more maintainable way of debugging Ajax apps via the web browser (more specifically for the Mozilla Firefox browser). You’ll learn the basics of leveraging Firefox in conjunction with Firebug and FirePHP to implement FirePHP libraries on web apps and logging messages in the Firebug console. A Brief Introduction When Ajax techniques became popular, developers faced a new problem: how can we debug Ajax requests and responses efficiently for complex web applications?
