Essential PHP
Posted: Sun May 08, 2005 2:18 pm
Hi All
I am looking for a "check list", if you can call it that. Of the things that are essential for a medium to large php project. For example:
Any user-friendly, low maintenance, well-tested etc php project must have:
php unit testing
templating engine
abstract database connection
php based user input validation
benchmarking
widget builder
sql builder
encryption, decryption
oop based
central configuration point
install wizard
multiple workgroup, module, user and location support
authentication
stylesheet driven etc
Ok, I have mentioned quite a few. And some essentials are according to personal preference. But, my objective is to build something that has all the core essentials as mentioned, and any other that you guys can think of.
In order to have almost an excellent base to build new projects off in a flash. I think it would be great for any of the newbies as well. For them to say, "Ok, I managed to get this php unit testing to work, let me try and create the templating engine, or use one that is out there".
Once you've come to a point where you basically have all the topics covered. You, according to your skill, should have built something that is easily maintained and you could also build a complete site in no time.
