Bootstrapping means that every server request are funneled through a single (or a few) PHP file. This file will be the “bootstrapper” of our application. It will help instantiate objects that are needed by every page in general such as starting a session, connecting to a database, defining constants and default variables, etc.
We can say that PHP is a mature language with lot’s of useful, but potentially dangerous features. The rapid growth of the language and the dynamic nature of the Web let people easily create dynamic web pages without any prior knowledge in computer science or the architecture of the Internet.
In this tutorial we’ll have a look at 4 important PHP security measures that you should implement in order to develop a safer website.

The process of backing up sensitive information became more and more important as software and hardware failures tend to happen more often with complex web applications.
If you’re never had any information loss, subversion repository corruption, etc. then consider yourself lucky. You don’t want to be in the shoes of a web developer that just lost a year of work, source code snippets, mockups, designs, proprietary code, etc.
If you don’t put your work in subversion repositories then it’s time to do it and let’s see how to write a PHP shell script to make the backup almost a transparent task.
