For all those who just stumbled upon this website: this blog is actually not about computer games. However, as I started playing computer games back in 1982 (on an Atari VCS 2600 and later on an Atari 800 XL which by the way was the reason why I started coding) I claim to be something like an eGames Pro ;-). Hence, from time to time I will misuse this blog to post something about computer games. Continue Reading…
I’ve just stumbled upon this great talk given by Douglas Crockford on Google Tech Talks about JavaScript. For me, this talk was an eye-opener and taught me how to solve and/or avoid several problems I had with JavaScript. Continue Reading…
I’ve just released a new website that I’ve been working on in my spare time for the last couple of weeks. It’s a simple website enabling you to book golf lessons online that I implemented for a friend who is a PGA certified golf trainer. This project uses a simple but great tool: CU3ER. Continue Reading…
I finally found some time to start with the design of the multi-form workflow framework that I presented in this post. I’m not finished yet – however, I wanted to keep you up to date. I made some changes to the original design that I would like to present to you (any input from you would still be very welcome). Continue Reading…
A few days ago I posted an article about how to use PHP-IDS (PHP-Intrusion Detection System) to make Zend Framework applications more secure. Basically, PHP-IDS checks all inputs by applying filter rules and – if a possible attack has been detected – it returns a $result object which you might want to analyze in order to get an indication of the severity of the (potential) attack. Check out the article to find out more details.
Another simple way to make your web application more secure, is to use Zend Framework’s (or your own) filters and validators. Before I went online with my first Zend Framework website, something that always bugged me was the question: did I really apply necessary filters and validators to all form elements? After having some sleepless nights ( because I actually wasn’t sure that I applied all necessary filters ;-)) I applied a very simple and straightforward approach. Continue Reading…
Zend Framework already offers mechanisms to build secure web applications, e.g. filters. But why reinvent the wheel? PHP IDS (PHP-Intrusion Detection System) is an open source security layer for your PHP application. This tutorial will show you how to use PHPIDS in your Zend Framework application. Continue Reading…
Why not use a Zend Framework plugin which again uses Tidy to check the validity of all the HTML code generated by your scripts? Wouldn’t it be great to have something like this? Well, actually it would. Unfortunately, I have to admit that this wasn’t my idea ;-) – in fact it was Ryan Mauger who posted a very interesting article about this issue on his blog.

Zend Framework (ZF) is a great application framework to build your website. Regardless of what site you are building – simple or complex – ZF will be your friend. However, ZF is not perfect and there are still some things that I really miss, for instance, an easy method to build workflow based multi-forms. Continue Reading…
