Avoiding $_REQUEST when possible because of the ambiguity of where the information could come from
Keep register_globals off (thankfully a default!)
Checking values for specific data types before using them
Filtering user input

On the Symfony blog Fabien Potencier has a new post talking about a change in the support structure for developers wanting to get help with either Symfony1 or Symfony2 - a split in the mailing list to help make things a bit easier to split out.Now that Symfony2 is just around the corner, we need to better organize community support for both symfony1 and Symfony2. As more people start using Symfony2, the user mailing-list is becoming more and more difficult to follow. [...] After an opinionated discussion...

So, what started out to be a post or two on some of the important things to consider about communication in open source projects, has now turned into it's own little mini-series. In part one I talked about some of the important things to consider when it's you, the organizer, talking to the people that come in and want to get involved with your project. In the second part I covered some of the organizer-to-organizer communication techniques to keep the project running smoothly.
In this part I'm going to...

In an effort to get some real feedback from the community about the state of PHP and what they think it needs, Sean Coates asked on Twitter for people to respond with their suggestions as to what could help make PHP better and what the project itself needs.PHP's intentional stagnation is eating away at me.

As Derick Rethans notes in his latest post, the Xdebug project is now on github and can be found under his account.I've just opened my Xdebug repository on github. Importing my old SVN repository was a bit of a task. With the help of Ole Marius Smestad I managed to cook up a bash script to import and fix-up the repository. In the meanwhile I've learned more about git than I ever wanted to know, but still not enough.Besides the source for Xdebug itself, you'll also notice repositories for the Xdebug...
In case you missed it, this post is a continuation of another post looking a some of the things I've learned in the time I've spent as an open source project organizer for Joind.in. In this second post I'm going to keep looking at communication and the role it plays in the project. The focus will be a little bit different, though - this time it's more about internal communication.
Keeping all of the contributors to your project informed and involved is a task to itself, but this should be only half of...

Xdebug on github
London, UK
Wednesday, June 22nd 2011, 21:47 BST
I've just opened my Xdebug repository on github. Importing my old SVN repository was a bit of a task. With the help of Ole Marius Smestad I managed to cook up a bash script to import and fix-up the repository. In the meanwhile I've learned more about git than I ever wanted to know, but still not enough. I maintain that, although git is very powerful, it is also a lot less intuitive than SVN (or even CVS).
In any case, Xdebug is now on...
On the Knp Labs site there's a recent post showing you how to use Capifony (a tool designed for use with Symfony projects) to deploy your Symfony-based applications in a few easy steps.Deploying should be an active part of your development process, but not something that gives you a headache. If deploying your entire application takes more than one command or doesn't put a smile on your face, you should keep reading. NOTE: This post will specifically cover how to deploy your Symfony2 application, but the...
On the Zend Developer Zone Cal Evans has a new post looking at an event Microsoft is holding this week, the SQL Server Jump In! Camp, and who's there and what's going on:This is a different kind of Camp, the focus is on writing code, not necessarily learning new techniques. That is not to say that there isn't learning, showcasing and demoing going on, but it is obviously not the focus of the week.Projects that are represented at the camp include PEAR, Frapi, CakePHP, Zend Framework, VoceComm and Agavi....
On the Symfony blog they've posted the latest in their "Getting Easier" series looking at some of the things being done for the framework to help make it more appealing for those just coming in.

Well, that's "fixed" now, thanks to the new...
