9. Welcome to! the Future
10. Great Scott!
11. Exceptions
13. Exceptions try { //your code goes here } catch (Exception $e) { die($e->getMessage()); }
14. Exceptions try { //your code goes here } catch (Exception $e) { die($e->getMessage()); }
15. Closures
17. Closures Route::get(‘/', function(){ return View::make(‘index'); ! });
18. Closures Route::get(‘/', function(){ return View::make(‘index'); ! });
19. Namespaces
21. Namespaces namespace Illuminate\Console; class Command { //…
22. Namespaces use Illuminate\Console\Command; namespace Illuminate\Console; class Command { //…
23. Namespaces use Illuminate\Console\Command; namespace Illuminate\Console; class Command { //…
24. Statics
26. Statics Class Route { public static function get() { //… }
27. Statics Route::get(); Class Route { public static function get() { //… }
28. Statics Route::get(); Class Route { public static function get() { //… }
29. Statics NO $this $var = self::varAtDefinition; ! $var = static::varAtExec;
30. Short Array! Syntax
32. Short Array Syntax $array = array( 0 => ‘value1’, 1 => ‘value2’, );
33. Short Array Syntax $array = [ 0 => ‘value1’, 1 => ‘value2’, ];
34. Short Array Syntax $array = [ 0 => ‘value1’, 1 => ‘value2’, ];
35. PDO
37. PDO Cross System
38. PDO Cross System MS SQL MySQL Oracle PostgreSQL SQLite CUBRID Firebird Informix ODBC & DB2 4D
39. PDO Cross System Safe Binding
40. PDO $stmt = $db->prepare(‘ SELECT * FROM users WHERE id=:id ’); ! $stmt->bindParam(‘:id’, $id); $stmt->execute();
41. Security
42. Security SQL Injection HTTPS Password Hashing
43. Security Authentication Safe Defaults XSS & CSRF
45. Security //escaping input $stmt->bindParam(‘:id’, $id);
46. Security //escaping input $stmt->bindParam(‘:id’, $id); //escaping output htmlentities($_POST[‘name’]);
47. Security HTTPS / SSL ! Encrypts traffic across the wire ! Trusted sender and receiver ! Required by OAUTH 2
48. Security //authentication - access control if (!$user->inGroup(‘admin’)) { return ‘ERROR YO’; }
49. Security //authentication - brute force if ($user->loginAttempts > 5) { return ‘CAUGHT YA’; }
50. Security //safe password hashing password_hash($_POST['pass']);
51. Security //safe password hashing password_hash($_POST['pass']); //password verification password_verify($_POST['pass'], $u->pass);
52. Security //safe defaults class Your Controller { protected $var1 = ‘default value’; ! function __construct() { … } }
53. Security //safe defaults $something = false; ! foreach ($array as $k => $v) { $something = $v->foo; if ($something == ‘bar’) { … } }
54. Security //Non-Persistent XSS ! http://www.yourSite.com/ ?page_num=2&per_page=50 ! Send the link to someone, boom
55. Security //Persistent XSS ! Same idea, except with data that is saved to the server and re-displayed
56. Security //XSS Protection ! <h1>Title</h1> Hello <?=htmlentities($name)?> ! !
57. Security //Cross Site Request Forgery //(CSRF) ! http://yourSite.com/ users/12/delete ! !
58. Security //CSRF Protection ! POST / PUT / UPDATE / DELETE behind forms with one-time use tokens ! !
59. Security //CSRF Protection ! function generateCsrf() { $token = mcrypt_create_iv( 16, MCRYPT_DEV_URANDOM); Session::flash('csrfToken', $token); return $token; }
60. Security //CSRF Protection ! if ( $_POST['token'] == Session::get(‘csrfToken') ) { … } !
61. Legit Tools
63. Built-in ! Web Server
64. Built-in Server $ php -S localhost:8000 ! PHP 5.4.0 Development Server started… Listening on localhost:8000 Document root is /home/ben/htdocs Press Ctrl-C to quit
65. Composer
66. Another Package Manager!?
67. Composer Sane Package Management
68. Composer Autoloading
69. Composer PEAR, ha! packagist.org
70. Composer / composer.json ! { "require": { "stripe/stripe-php": "dev-master", "twilio/sdk": "dev-master" } }
71. Composer $ php composer.phar update $ php composer.phar install
72. Composer $client = new Services_Twilio($sid, $tkn); ! $client->account ->messages ->sendMessage(…)
73. Unit Testing
75. Unit Testing PHPUnit Behat Mink Selenium CodeCeption PHPSpec
76. Unit Testing class ApiAuthTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase { ! public function testVerify() { ! $auth = new apiAuth(); $this->assertTrue($auth->verify());
77. Unit Testing class ApiAuthTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase { ! public function testVerify() { ! $auth = new apiAuth(); $this->assertTrue($auth->verify());
78. Unit Testing $ phpunit tests ! PHPUnit 3.3.17 by Sebastian Bergmann. Time: 0.01 seconds OK (1 tests, 1 assertions)
79. Resources
81. Resources PHP.net
82. Resources Modern Frameworks Laravel Symfony2 Fuel PHP SlimPHP 2 Aura for PHP Silex
