PHP HTTPRequest Class
in PHP added by rvdavid, on 11/1/2008 advanced tutorials oo programming php5 request handling
By default, request data in PHP is handled by using Super Globals ($_POST, $_GET, $_COOKIES). Globals are bad for several reasons (outside the scope of this example google here). In an effort to remedy this, we need a way to encapsulate the request data into an object. By doing this, we are centralising access to request data through the one channel - the HTTP Request object.

PHP Captcha Tutorial (in-depth)
in PHP added by techusky, on 2/1/2008 advanced tutorials captcha php5 security verification
This CAPTCHA script allows a user to easily customize things such as the string length, minimum and maximum font size, image size, the font used, and even the characters used, etc... Unlike most CAPTCHA scripts that generate the random text based on an md5 hash of the time, this one lets the user input specific numbers, uppercase, and lowercase characters they want used (or don't want used) in the creation of the CAPTCHA image. It also assures, regardless of the length of the string, that there is at least both 1 random upper and lowercase character in the string, thus making it more difficult for bots. Another feature in this script is that it randomly rotates each character on the image.

Auto Loading Classes in PHP 5
in PHP added by goodphptutorials, on 23/12/2007 advanced tutorials autoloading php5
Undoubtedly, the release of PHP 5 has had a remarkable impact on the way that object-oriented applications are developed nowadays. This highly-improved model has provided PHP programmers with features that were only present in mature object-based languages, like Java and C++, but now, fortunately for you and me, they are generously offered by this powerful server-side scripting language.

The state of functional programming in PHP
in PHP added by goodphptutorials, on 20/12/2007 advanced tutorials functional programming

Template View and View Helper Design Patterns in PHP
in PHP added by rvdavid, on 6/12/2007 advanced tutorials oo programming php5
The Template View and View Helper patterns lend themselves nicely when it comes to developing a View Layer solution for PHP, or so I found out with the recent refactoring of Cubix (dubbed Cubix II). This View layer duo is very much a great candidate for a 'tag team'. Each component performs a role and together make up a big part of the View Layer.
