  • Built-in Protection Against CSRF Security Attacks in PHP 7.1 - Lately in PHP podcast episode 72 (1 day ago)

    Posted on: 2016-06-15
    Summary: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) are a type of security attacks that may cause user accounts to be abused, so attackers can make users perform actions inadvertently in a vulnerable site and cause serious problems to the users and the sites.

    There is a new proposal for PHP 7.1 to provide built-in semi-automatic protection against CSRF attacks, so it will be easier for PHP developers to protect the sites they develop against this type of exploit.

    That was one of the main topics discussed by Manuel Lemos and Arturs Sosins in the episode 72 of the Lately in PHP podcast hangout.

    They also talked about other proposals for PHP 7.1, as well the election of two release managers that will take care of the steps necessary to release PHP 7.1 later this year on the planned schedule.

    This article includes a transcript of the podcast summary.

    Listen to the podcast, or watch the hangout video, or read the summary transcript to learn more about these interesting PHP topics.
  • Notable PHP package: PHP Nuclear Reactor (7 days ago)

    Posted on: 2016-06-09
    Summary: Asynchronous programming is a way to create programs that can execute multiple parallel tasks faster in the same process by executing code while other parts if the programs wait for I/O operations to finish, like database accesses, file accesses, network accesses, etc..

    ReactPHP is a low level library similar to JavaScript Node.js that can be used to implement asynchronous programming in PHP, so you can write PHP code that can efficiently access multiple files, databases, or network computers in parallel, making everything faster.

    The PHP Nuclear Reactor is library based on PIMF micro-framework that implements the MVC design pattern on top of ReactPHP.

    This way you can continue to write PHP MVC components the way you are used to do, and still work well in an asynchronous programming environment based on ReactPHP.

  • Notable PHP package: PHP Time Zone Mapper (10 days ago)

    Posted on: 2016-06-06
    Summary: Many Web sites are accessed by users from around the world, each one in at a different time zone.

    Sometimes it is necessary to schedule a event or otherwise tell the time when something important is going to happen at a specific time of the day at the user's location.

    Since the time of the day at the users location will be different according to the user time zone, it is necessary to know the time zone on which the location of the users are.

    This class can solve that problem using the user's geographic coordinates: latitude and longitude.

    These coordinates can usually be determined from the IP address of the computer the user is using to access the site, using services like IP to location.

    This way it is possible to determine the time where the user is located, departing from the IP address and using this class to determine the time zone from the IP address location.

  • Notable PHP package: Move Me GIF (17 days ago)

    Posted on: 2016-05-30
    Summary: Animated GIF images became popular because they allow to display videos on social network sites that only support image formats.

    Assembling an animated GIF is just composing a sequence of still pictures. However, this class goes further to assembling pictures as animated GIFs by allowing to render sequences of images overlaid on top of custom background images.

    It also provides optimization methods to generate smaller GIFs files by clipping regions of the images and skipping frames.

  • Notable PHP package: PHP PDF to Text (24 days ago)

    Posted on: 2016-05-23
    Summary: Many Web applications need to deal with PDF documents and their contents for instance to search for particular text.

    However, the PDF format is not easy to analyse and it contains complex structures and often compressed binary data.

    The PHP PDF to Text package not only is able to parse the PDF format in pure PHP, but it can also decompress any document objects and extract their page position, making it easy to search PDF documents using only with PHP code, thus without resorting to external programs, special extensions or Web service APIs.
