2009 PHP Best Practices
In 2003 we first gave a talk at OSCON on PHP Best Practices. A lot has changed in six years—and a lot has stayed the same. Come with us on a tour of what we still get wrong, what we shouldn’t get wrong any longer, and why we all have to try harder than we once did.
We will cover:- Code structure and architecture
- Frameworks: do we still hate them?
- Secure coding practices
- Coding for scalability
- Test driven development
- Version control and your build process
- l10n
Of course, no best practice presentation would be complete without some examples of worst practices.

[Redacted]
Luke Welling is from Melbourne, Australia, but currently lives near Washington, DC, where he ekes out a living as a security nerd at OmniTI. He sees lots of good PHP and bad PHP, and tries to write more good than bad. Over the last decade, he has applied PHP in many places where it was intended, and in many places where it was never meant to go. With his wife Laura, he wrote the bestselling book PHP and MySQL Web Development and often speaks about PHP at conferences and user groups. His hobbies include riding his horses and sticking Splayds in toasters, although he has not yet attempted to do both at once.

Comments
Will the slides be available somewhere? They’d be much appreciated!
I’d have liked to get a little more in the weeds with some practical examples of what to do and what not to do (like showing code, etc). This was a little higher level than what I expected.
Great information. Personally, I could have let them talk at least twice as long.
