DevShed has posted the first of three tutorials in a series that covers network programming in PHP.
For many PHP developers, network programming seems to be rather elusive terrain. It becomes even more difficult to navigate when dealing with advanced topics, such as working with low-level sockets or dealing with the numerous and intimidating features of a specific network protocol.
However, things aren’t as hard as they look at first glance. As with everything in software development (and particularly when developing Internet-related applications), it’s possible to dive into the network programming area in a friendly way, without the need to get completely obfuscated by the buzzwords that surround the topic, or without suffering premature aging, all because you can’t get that socket opened on a particular TCP port.

Pathfinder has a new post that talks about how to administer PHP Spam Injection First Aid with Apache ModSecurity
From time to time we work with clients who would like to upgrade their web sites. Often their site is composed of various one-off applications — typically PHP-based — that someone built for them. More often than not, these applications were not developed with security in mind. Our first reaction is to pull the plug, analyze, and rebuild a secure and scalable solution. But pulling the plug is usually not an option. If a company relies on an application for leads or sales, they probably can’t afford to shut it down for any length of time. Under these circumstances, triage is usually the best one can hope for.
