  • Notable PHP package: PHP Ignore JSON Key (2 days ago)

    Posted on: 2016-09-13
    Summary: JSON is nowadays used by many applications and APIs to exchange data in a format that can be supported by many languages.

    Sometimes you need to do some processing to filter unwanted entries in JSON data structure. Usually you would use json_decode parse the data, traverse the parsed data and filter the unwanted information, and regenerate it with json_encode.

    This class offers a simpler solution. It can take a JSON string and removed the unwanted entries from the JSON string directly.

    This way you do not need to perform traversal of data and custom processing to remove the unwanted data.

  • Notable PHP package: PHP Form Encryption (7 days ago)

    Posted on: 2016-09-08
    Summary: When you need to submit security sensitive data to a Web site, you should always use encrypted connections. However, over time older SSL versions have been discovered to be vulnerable, to the point that SSL is not longer synonym of security.

    Nowadays you should use at least TLS and we don't know until when the current TLS versions will be safe to use to protect the transmission of private data.

    This class provides an additional layer of security by using JavaScript to encrypt data before transmitting form values using RSA public key, and then having the server to decrypt the data with a private key.

    This way, eventual man in the middle attacks will not be able to decrypt the data because they don't know what is the private key that the server uses to decrypt it.

    This process is called hole punching because it uses an intermediary server to get the addresses of the remote machines, so the client can communicate with them.

    This PHP package implements a server with one class that can keeps the list of connected client machines and returns the list of peer addresses and ports.
