PHPUnit.Pocket.Guide

Smart web developers will tell you that the sooner you detect your code mistakes, the quicker you can fix them, and the less the project will cost in the long run. Well, the most efficient way to detect your mistakes in PHP is with PHPUnit, an open source framework that automates unit testing by running a battery of tests as you go. The benefits of PHPUnit are significant:

a reduction in the effort required to frequently test code
fewer overall defects
added confidence in your code
improved relations with your open source teammates

The only problem with this popular testing tool was its lack of documentation-until now, that is. For this, O'Reilly went right to the source, as Sebastian Bergmann, the author of PHPUnit Pocket Guide, also happens to be PHPUnit's creator. This little book brings together hard-to-remember information, syntax, and rules for working with PHPUnit. It also delivers the insight and sage advice that can only come from the technology's creator. Coverage of testing under agile methodologies and Extreme Programming (XP) is also included.

The latest in O'Reilly's series of handy Pocket Guides, this quick-reference book puts all the answers are right at your fingertips. It's an invaluable companion for anyone interested in testing the PHP code they write for web applications.

Essential.PHP.Security

Being highly flexible in building dynamic, database-driven web applications makes the PHP programming language one of the most popular web development tools in use today. It also works beautifully with other open source tools, such as the MySQL database and the Apache web server. However, as more web sites are developed in PHP, they become targets for malicious attackers, and developers need to prepare for the attacks.
Security is an issue that demands attention, given the growing frequency of attacks on web sites. Essential PHP Security explains the most common types of attacks and how to write code that isn't susceptible to them. By examining specific attacks and the techniques used to protect against them, you will have a deeper understanding and appreciation of the safeguards you are about to learn in this book.

In the much-needed (and highly-requested) Essential PHP Security, each chapter covers an aspect of a web application (such as form processing, database programming, session management, and authentication). Chapters describe potential attacks with examples and then explain techniques to help you prevent those attacks.

Topics covered include:

Preventing cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities
Protecting against SQL injection attacks
Complicating session hijacking attempts

You are in good hands with author Chris Shiflett, an internationally-recognized expert in the field of PHP security. Shiflett is also the founder and President of Brain Bulb, a PHP consultancy that offers a variety of services to clients around the world.

Advanced.PHP.Programming

Over the past three years PHP has evolved from being a niche language used to add dynamic functionality to small sites to a powerful tool making strong inroads into large-scale, business-critical Web systems.

The rapid maturation of PHP has created a skeptical population of users from more traditional "enterprise" languages who question the readiness and ability of PHP to scale, as well as a large population of PHP developers without formal computer science backgrounds who have learned through the hands-on experimentation while developing small and midsize applications in PHP.

While there are many books on learning PHP and developing small applications with it, there is a serious lack of information on "scaling" PHP for large-scale, business-critical systems. Schlossnagle's Advanced PHP Programming fills that void, demonstrating that PHP is ready for enterprise Web applications by showing the reader how to develop PHP-based applications for maximum performance, stability, and extensibility.

SQL.Server.2005.Reporting.Services.in.Action

Brian Welcker
Group Program Manager
Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services
With Microsoft SQL Server 2005 you can structure and store terabytes of data-but how do you make sense of that much information? Reporting Services transforms raw data into meaningful reports and puts your valuable information to work.

SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services in Action shows you how to build effective Windows and Web-based reporting solutions using SQL Server 2005. Using this example-driven book, you'll build Reporting Services-centric solutions, including report forecasting, RSS feeds, ASP.NET web controls for server-side report generation, extending Reporting Services to report on ADO.NET datasets, delivering reports to Web services, authenticating users, performance testing, and capacity planning.

You'll quickly move beyond canned reports and put the Report Designer through its paces. The book will show you how to add interactive features to your tabular reports and how to improve performance by using external images without taking up valuable database real estate.

When you have large systems, efficiency is key to productivity. Author Bret Updegraff shows you how to avoid doing the same tasks twice. You'll see a nifty sales forecast that uses embedded code to create reusable utility functions that you can call from multiple places your reports. As well, you'll find fundamentals like employing XSLT to create XML reports and advanced techniques such as accessing custom code in an external .NET assembly.

Reporting Services 2005 lets you give users greater control over their reporting needs. SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services in Action will help you provide safe, user-friendly reporting options to your users and free up your time for more important tasks. This book shows you how to set up ad hoc reporting through Report Builder so business users can get the information you need from the database without your help! You won't stop with the basics, though. You'll also learn how to apply advanced filters and security practices to protect your data from unwelcome or misguided queries.

Of course, this new edition is thoroughly updated to include coverage of all the new features introduced with SQL Server 2005. You'll see:


Direct Client Printing: Send a report directly to a printer without having to export to printable format first
End User Sort: Let the end user to re-sort data within the report
Multi Valued Parameters: Use multiple values for parameters
Custom Report Items: Build and embed custom server controls
You'll also work with the improved Report Designer, Report Builder, and Analysis Services Query Builder. You'll learn about SharePoint WebParts and the Report Viewer Controls for WinForms and ASP.NET, as well.

PHP.Architects.Guide.to.PHP.Security

This book describes itself as a "Step-by-step guide to writing secure and reliable PHP applications. Dealing with real-world examples of proper coding practises, and their implementation in PHP in an accurate, concise and complete way." So does it live up to this claim? and how does it fare compared to the ever increasing rane of PHP Security books out there?
Well first of all this book weighs in at just under 200 pages. Although I don't use page counts as an indication of quality, I do use them as a gauge of how much "fluff" a book is likely to contain. I consider book fluff to be all of those early pre-amble chapters that the majority of us just skip over in our bid to get to the real meat. Thankfully Ilia is merciful in this respect, and other than a quick foreword by Rasmus Lerdorf and a brief introduction we are straight into the good stuff from as early as page 21.

The book is split into 10 chapters starting with Input Validation. As you may well expect this is kicked off with a good summary of the Register Globals issue. Rather than just say "it's bad, don't use it" Ilia actually goes into depth to explain how it works, what happens when your variables collide and gives a good example of accidental mis-use. Rather than leave it at this we're then walked through various alternatives, with the pros and cons of each explained. Although the Register Globals issue is the one we're all most familiar with, the attention to detail given in its coverage and technical explanation sets the tone of the rest of the book.

Validating Input is then covered, and it's nice to see the book appreciate the difference that a locale can have on PHPs in-built functions. The example given shows how is_numeric("1,23") would return a false (because of the comma after the 1), yet this is a perfectly valid form of decimal notation in countries such as Germany and France. Sadly Ilia doesn't actually give you a solution for this problem, he just mentions it, but now that it has been bought to the front of your mind, you can at least cater for it. The Input Validation tips continue to flow, as it moves swiftly across string validation, content size validation, white list validation, File Uploads, Configuration settings, File Input, File Content validation, Accessing Uploaded data, file size, magic quotes, serialized data and external resource validation.

Don't forget, this is all just Chapter 1.

Subsequent chapters include Cross-Site Scripting Prevention, SQL Injection, Preventing Code Injection, Command Injection, Session Security, Securing File Access, Security through Obscurity, Sandboxes and Tar Pits and finishes with Securing Your Application.

This is a wealth of information, make no mistake about it. The Sandbox chapter in particular offers up some great ideas for building and implementing a sandbox and tar pit (methods to counter-attack hackers, rather than just preventing them). The final chapter serves as a checklist you can run through when auditing your own (or others) code - 'Avoid $_REQUEST?', check!

As you would expect from someone so tightly involved in the PHP development cycle, Ilia writes with an air of authority about this subject. It is plainly obvious that he fully understands what is going on deep inside PHP at any given moment, and uses that know-how to advise the rest of us how best to approach it from above. It's a knowledge that he imparts easily and fluidly through-out this book, with virtually every paragraph containing something of genuine use.

The main thing I like about this book is that for every "this is wrong", you are nearly always shown a "but this is how you can do it" method. I find that with security more than any other area in PHP, you often hear an awful lot of "don't do this", but precious few examples of rectifying those mistakes. We've also yet to see a security book deal with any system in whole. For example taking a user management system, or a simple shopping basket system, and walking through how to ensure it is secure. Theory is all well and great, but authors can lead by example as well.

My final comment would be one of print quality. I am finding this is quite common with Nanobooks - the print quality really isn't the best. Very often large blocks of black will appear faded / striped and the covers suffer from "jaggies" around text where the colours have bled slightly. I am quite sure this can be attributed to their low cost. You can pick up two typical Nanobooks for the same price as an Apress title. And so long as you can actually read it, who cares if some pages look like they may have fallen out of a photocopier? Never judge a book by its cover and all that Even so, I thought it was worth mentioning.

P.S. I thought it was a nice touch that Ilia had signed my copy. I'm sure he did all of the first batch or something, but it was great anyway!

Creating.your.MySQL.Database

This book is an innovative and essential short guide for everyone on how to structure your data and set-up your MySQL database tables efficiently and easily. If you're creating a dynamic web application using open-source tools, then you're probably going to be setting up a MySQL database. Getting the design of this database right for your application and its data is vital, but it's often an intimidating and little-known process for non-developers and developers alike. Written by the creator of the popular phpMyAdmin tool, this book is a short but complete guide on how to design good data structures for MySQL. For most of us, setting up the database for an application is often an afterthought. While you don't need to be a professional database designer to create a working application, knowing a few insider tips and techniques can make both the process easier and the end result much more effective. This book doesn't set out to make you an expert in data analysis, but it does provide a quick and easy way to raise your game in this essential part of getting your application right. The book covers: Asking users the right questions to collect relevant data for the system you are building Detecting bad structures Sound data-naming techniques, for both table and column names Modeling data with future growth in mind Implementing security policies with data privileges and views Tuning the structure for performance Producing system documentation (data dictionary, relational schema) Testing the model with appropriate SQL queries This book takes a practical approach, implementing all theoretical concepts with examples. It is a fast-paced tutorial that focuses on critical decisions that you need to make every time you build MySQL databases. It is rich with tips and advice from an experienced practitioner. The book is ideal for anyone working with applications that use a MySQL database backend will benefit greatly from the advice and techniques in this book.

Web.Database.Applications.with.PHP.and.MySQL.2nd.Edition

There are many reasons for serving up dynamic content from a web site: to offer an online shopping site, create customized information pages for users, or just manage a large volume of content through a database. Anyone with a modest knowledge of HTML and web site management can learn to create dynamic content through the PHP programming language and the MySQL database. This book gives you the background and tools to do the job safely and reliably. Web Database Applications with PHP and MySQL, Second Edition thoroughly reflects the needs of real-world applications. It goes into detail on such practical issues as validating input (do you know what a proper credit card number looks like?), logging in users, and using templates to give your dynamic web pages a standard look. But this book goes even further. It shows how JavaScript and PHP can be used in tandem to make a user's experience faster and more pleasant. It shows the correct way to handle errors in user input so that a site looks professional. It introduces the vast collection of powerful tools available in the PEAR repository and shows how to use some of the most popular tools. Even while it serves as an introduction to new programmers, the book does not omit critical tasks that web sites require. For instance, every site that allows updates must handle the possibility of multiple users accessing data at the same time. This book explains how to solve the problem in detail with locking. Through a sophisticated sample application--Hugh and Dave's Wine Store--all the important techniques of dynamic content are introduced. Good design is emphasized, such as dividing logic from presentation. The book introduces PHP 5 and MySQL 4.1 features, while providing techniques that can be used on older versions of the software that are still in widespread use. This new edition has been redesigned around the rich offerings of PEAR. Several of these, including the Template package and the database-independent query API, are fully integrated into examples and thoroughly described in the text. Topics include:

Installation and configuration of Apache, MySQL, and PHP on Unix®, Windows®, and Mac OS® X systems
Introductions to PHP, SQL, and MySQL administration
Session management, including the use of a custom database for improved efficiency
User input validation, security, and authentication
The PEAR repository, plus details on the use of PEAR DB and Template classes

PHP.5.Power.Programming

Preface Preface "The best security against revolution is in constant correction of abuses and the introduction of needed improvements. It is the neglect of timely repair that makes rebuilding necessary." Richard Whately In the Beginning It was eight years ago, when Rasmus Lerdorf first started developing PHP/FI. He could not have imagined that his creation would eventually lead to the development of PHP as we know it today, which is being used by millions of people. The first version of "PHP/FI," called Personal Homepage Tools/Form Interpreter, was a collection of Perl scripts in 1995. 1 One of the basic features was a Perl-like language for handling form submissions, but it lacked many common useful language features, such as loops. PHP/FI 2 A rewrite came with PHP/FI 2 2 in 1997, but at that time the development was almost solely handled by Rasmus. After its release in November of that year, Andi Gutmans and Zeev Suraski bumped into PHP/FI while looking for a language to develop an e-commerce solution as a university project. They discovered that PHP/FI was not quite as powerful as it seemed, and its language was lacking many common features. One of the most interesting aspects included the way loops were implemented. The hand-crafted lexical scanner would go through the script and when it hit the while keyword it would remember its position in the file. At the end of the loop, the file pointer sought back to the saved position, and the whole loop was reread and re-executed. PHP 3 Zeev and Andi decided to completely rewrite the scripting language. They then teamed up with Rasmus to release PHP 3, and along also came a new name: PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, to emphasize that PHP was a different product and not only suitable for personal use. Zeev and Andi had also designed and implemented a new extension API. This new API made it possible to easily support additional extensions for performing tasks such as accessing databases, spell checkers and other technologies, which attracted many developers who were not part of the "core" group to join and contribute to the PHP project. At the time of PHP 3 s release 3 in June 1998, the estimated PHP installed base consisted of about 50,000 domains. PHP 3 sparked the beginning of PHP s real breakthrough, and was the first version to have an installed base of more than one million domains. PHP 4 In late 1998, Zeev and Andi looked back at their work in PHP 3 and felt they could have written the scripting language even better, so they started yet another rewrite. While PHP 3 still continuously parsed the scripts while executing them, PHP 4 came with a new paradigm of "compile first, execute later." The compilation step does not compile PHP scripts into machine code; it instead compiles them into byte code, which is then executed by the Zend Engine (Zend stands for Ze ev and A nd i), the new heart of PHP 4. Because of this new way of executing scripts, the performance of PHP 4 was much better than that of PHP 3, with only a small amount of backward compatibility breakage 4 . Among other improvements was an improved extension API for better run-time performance, a web server abstraction layer allowing PHP 4 to run on most popular web servers, and lots more. PHP 4 was officially released on May 22, 2002, and today its installed base has surpassed 15 million domains. In PHP 3, the minor version number (the middle digit) was never used, and all versions were numbered as 3.0.x. This changed in PHP 4, and the minor version number was used to denote important changes in the language. The first important change came in PHP 4.1.0, 5 which introduced superglobals such as and . Superglobals can be accessed from within functions without having to use the keyword. This feature was added in order to allow the register_globals INI option to be turned off. register_globals is a feature in PHP which automatically converts input variables like "?foo=bar" in [a href="http://php.net/?foo=bar" target="_blank">http://php.net/?foo=bar to a PHP variable called $foo. Because many people do not check input variables properly, many applications had security holes, which made it quite easy to circumvent security and authentication code. With the new superglobals in place, on April 22, 2002, PHP 4.2.0 was released with the register_globals turned off by default. PHP 4.3.0, the last significant PHP 4 version, was released on December 27, 2002. This version introduced the Command Line Interface (CLI), a revamped file and network I/O layer (called streams ), and a bundled GD library. Although most of those additions have no real effect on end users, the major version was bumped due to the major changes in PHP s core. PHP 5 Soon after, the demand for more common object-oriented features increased immensely, and Andi came up with the idea of rewriting the objected-oriented part of the Zend Engine. Zeev and Andi wrote the "Zend Engine II: Feature Overview and Design" document 6 and jumpstarted heated discussions about PHP s future. Although the basic language has stayed the same, many features were added, dropped, and changed by the time PHP 5 matured. For example, namespaces and multiple inheritance, which were mentioned in the original document, never made it into PHP 5. Multiple inheritance was dropped in favor of interfaces, and namespaces were dropped completely. You can find a full list of new features in Chapter, "What Is New in PHP 5?" PHP 5 is expected to maintain and even increase PHP s leadership in the web development market. Not only does it revolutionizes PHP s object-oriented support but it also contains many new features which make it the ultimate web development platform. The rewritten XML functionality in PHP 5 puts it on par with other web technologies in some areas and overtakes them in others, especially due to the new SimpleXML extension which makes it ridiculously easy to manipulate XML documents. In addition, the new SOAP, MySQLi, and variety of other extensions are significant milestones in PHP s support for additional technologies. Audience This book is an introduction to the advanced features new to PHP 5. It is written for PHP programmers who are making the move to PHP 5. Although Chapter 2, "PHP 5 Basic Language," contains an introduction to PHP 5 syntax, it is meant as a refresher for PHP programmers and not as a tutorial for new programmers. However, web developers with experience programming other high-level languages may indeed find that this tutorial is all they need in order to begin working effectively with PHP 5. Chapter Overview Chapter 1, "What Is New in PHP 5?" discusses the new features in PHP 5. Most of these new features deal with new object-oriented features, including small examples for each feature. It also gives an overview of the new extensions in PHP 5. Most of the topics mentioned in this chapter are explained in more detail in later chapters. Chapter 2, "PHP 5 Basic Language," introduces the PHP syntax to those readers not familiar with PHP. All basic language constructs and variable types are explained along with simple examples to give the reader the necessary building blocks to build real scripts. Chapter 3, "PHP 5 OO Language," continues exploring PHP 5 s syntax, focusing on its object-oriented functionality. This chapter covers basics, such as properties and methods, and progresses to more complicated subjects, such as polymorphism, interfaces, exceptions, and lots more. Using the previous chapter as a foundation, Chapter 4, "PHP 5 Advanced OOP and Design Patterns," covers some of the most advanced features of PHP 5 s object model. After learning these features, including four commonly used design patterns and PHP s reflection capabilities, you will soon become an OO wizard. Now that you are familiar with the syntax and language features of PHP, Chapter 5, "How to Write a Web Application with PHP," introduces you to the world of writing web applications. The authors show you basics, such as handling input through form variables and safety techniques, but this chapter also includes more advanced topics, such as handling sessions with cookies and PHP s session extension. You also find a few tips on laying out your source code for your web applications. Chapter 6, "Databases with PHP 5," introduces using MySQL, SQLite, and Oracle from PHP, but focuses primarily on the PHP 5-specific details of database access. For each database, you learn about some of its strong and weak points, as well as the types of applications at which each excels. And of course, you learn how to interface with them using PHP s native functions or using PEAR DB. All scripts can throw errors, but of course you do not want them to show up on your web site once your application has passed its development state. Chapter 7, "Error Handling," deals with different types of errors that exist, how to handle those errors with PHP, and how to handle errors with PEAR. As one of the important new features in PHP 5 is its renewed XML support, a chapter on XML features in PHP 5 could not be missed. Chapter 8, "XML with PHP 5," talks about the different strategies of parsing XML and converting XML to other formats with XSLT. XML-RPC and SOAP are introduced to show you how to implement web services with both techniques. Although not specifically for PHP 5, the five mainstream extensions that Chapter 9,"Mainstream Extensions," covers are important enough to deserve a place in this book. The first section, "Files and Streams," explains about handling files and network streams. A stream is nothing more than a way to access external data, such as a file, remote URL, or compressed file. The second section, "Regular Expressions," explains the syntax of a regular expression engine (PCRE) that PHP uses with numerous examples to show you how these expressions can make your life easier. In "Date Handling," we explain the different functions used to parse and format date and time strings. In "Graphics Manipulation with GD," we show you through two real-life scenario...
