| Title |
PHP Developer |
| Summary |
We’re looking for an experienced PHP developer available to do side work roughly 10-60 hrs a month on a per-project basis. We’re a small company and need some help picking up overflow when we get busy, so it’s hard to say exactly how much work will be given, but repeat work is certainly likely. USA programmers are preferred. The ideal candidate will be a pro in the following areas:
- PHP
- MySQL
- Javascript/HTML/CSS/XML/AJAX
- English: Excellent grammar is required
- Photoshop
- Flash/AS is also a plus, but not required
The ideal candidate will also be experienced and comfortable working in most (but not necessarily all) of the following open source packages:
- vTiger
- Joomla
- adoDB
- Smarty
- fPDF
- osCommerce
Basically, we’d like to have someone on call to pass work to who can give us a fairly fast turn-around for most projects. Compensation is negotiable, we’d like to hear what you have in mind.
Please contact opportunity@sarmacreative.com
No phone calls please, I’m busy trying to get all this work done!

Hasin Hayder has posted a review of his own for the latest IDE offering from NuSPhere - the latest in their PHPEd series, version 5.0.
I am using PHPEd for couple of months and I’ve recently upgraded to their latest edition, 5.0. So I cant resist myself from writing a review of this product.
He breaks it up into “best of” and “worst of” lists and includes an overview of a lot of the features this editor has to offer (including embedded Firefox, integration with the shell and a built-in profiler).

Christopher Jones and those fine folks at Oracle have released the latest version of their “Underground PHP and Oracle Manual”.
The book is designed to bridge the gap between the many PHP and the many Oracle texts available. We re-worked a lot of content for this version, improving the layout and flow enormously. We also increased its size by one third, adding over fifty pages of new material.
New things in this new version include updates to the software installation steps, an updated SQL Developer section, and some new additions like a section on testing, a chapter on mapping functions and a chapter on mapping the Oracle functions.

In his search for “contact grabber” classes, Jonathan Street came across one posted to the PHPClasses.org website recently, the Contact Grabber class, and decided to give it a shot and report back his findings.
I haven’t tried it yet but apparently it can connect to hotmail, yahoo, gmail, orkut, rediff and myspace. It is an impressive collection of scripts. […] Generally speaking I wouldn’t have a problem with the script being included in another project. In fact I would encourage it. In this instance though there are a few problems.
He breaks it up into a few different kinds of issues: inaccuracies, updates, licensing problems, and that the author wouldn’t make contact back to Jonathan about some of his problems.

Filed under their “Advanced Topics” sections today is a new article from WebReference.com that looks at some security techniques developers can use in their apps to help keep their and their user’s information safe from prying eyes. It’s an excerpt from Larry Ullman’s book “PHP 5 Advanced: Visual QuickPro Guide”.
This chapter will begin by rehashing the fundamentals of secure PHP programming. These are the basic things that I hope/assume you’re already doing. After that a quick example shows ways to validate different kinds of data that might come from an HTML form.
The third topic is the new-to-PHP 5 PECL library called Filter. Its usage isn’t very programmer-friendly, but the way it wraps all of the customary data filtering and sanitizing methods into one interface makes it worth knowing. After that, two different uses of the PEAR Auth package show an alternative way to implement authorization in your Web applications. The chapter will conclude with coverage of the MCrypt library, demonstrating how to encrypt and decrypt data.
The security tips in this part of the series range from turning off register_globals (you do have it off, don’t you?) to form validation with things like regular expressions and the ctype functions.
