Web Development Blog: Sending e-mails via SMTP with PHPmailer and Gmail
Fri, 04 Sep 2009 14:56:14 -0500
On the Web Development Blog there's a recent post about using the PHPMailer package to send email out via the Google Mail servers. These days I tried some plugin to send mail message within bbpress via SMTP. Since my domains email is hosted with Google applications I decided to send my messages via the SMTP server from Gmail. I found several articles and tutorials, but a lot of them didn't work for me. [...] You need for this code example a PHP5 enabled web host (I tested only on Linux), the port 465 need to be open and of course you need a Gmail or Google applications account. Complete code is provided - a smtpmailer function that takes in the standard mail parameters (to, from, subject, msg) and ships the message off to the Gmail STMP servers (on their custom port 465).
DevShed: Sanitizing Strings with Filters in PHP 5
Thu, 03 Sep 2009 07:21:53 -0500
DevShed rounds the final corner on their sanitizing user input series of tutorials with the eighth part, a look at filtering inputted strings to remove potentially dangerous issues. In this part, I discuss how to use the filter extension for sanitizing strings in all sorts of clever manners. I'll show you how to encode quotes, low and high ASCII characters in literals, and remove them in the same easy manner. Doing this can help prevent SQL injections and XSS attacks when developing PHP applications. Their code shows how to use the FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING, FILTER_FLAG_NO_ENCODE_QUOTES, FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_LOW, FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_HIGH, FILTER_FLAG_ENCODE_LOW and FILTER_FLAG_ENCODE_HIGH filtering methods on a sample string or two and what they'd result in.

Models more than Databases
Thu, 13 Aug 2009 07:45:14 UT
Hi Guys, I would like some advice - I am new to Rails although not new to development. I have read numerous rails tutorials - however they all seem to build around forms interacting with a database. My question is how do models/controllers work when it goes beyond just adding things into databases?
Nested object form existing values not displayed

How secure are sessions?
Wed, 29 Jul 2009 13:26:41 UT
I have read a number of different tutorials that talk about adding a login page to an application that all contain very similar wording: "Of course, you would log in over an SSL connection". And I understand the theory of HTTP and the theory of packet sniffing well enough to know that, if I type in a password on a form, and that form

Community News: ZendCon '09 Timetable Posted
Wed, 22 Jul 2009 14:15:47 -0500
If you're planning on attending this year's Zend/PHP Conference, you'll be happy to know that the official schedule has been posted and allows you to make your very own customized version. There's more than fifty sessions at this year's conference so narrowing it down to just what you want to see can make quite a bit of difference. Topics range anywhere from looks at various frameworks, using PHP 5.3, working with XML, best practices and interfacing PHP with Java. There's still lots of time to get in on the Early Bird Discount (ends August 28th) to get your pass to the conference for either all days or a pass minus the tutorials.
Best Books and Tutorials on Rails?
Sat, 18 Jul 2009 16:14:08 UT
I am a Ruby/Rails newby, currently reading "Simply Rails 2" by Patrick Lenz. While I am finding it worthwhile I was hoping others could recommend other good books and online tutorials for learning Rails. I have read up about Ruby online, so I think I know enough Ruby for the time being. In some ways the strength of Rails is also its weakness, at least for
