What Makes Laravel Development A Preferred PHP Framework for Web Developers?
Website development is a crucial part of technological development. Websites give individuals and corporates a presence on the internet. The sites also act as platforms where different stakeholders can interact, exchanging products as well as ideas. To make the website development easier, many programmers are now turning to PHP frameworks that make the process more efficient. Laravel development is an example of such a framework. It is increasingly being chosen over PHP frameworks for the following reasons.
Skipping PHP.CE This Year
Being a conference organiser is hard. Like, seriously. Aside from the obvious logistics, and the not-at-all-obvious logistics, you're in a position to create a social gathering, not just a technical one. That comes with a lot of baggage and challenges, many of them often competing and incompatible, that need to be balanced.

PHP End of Life (a reminder)
As of December 2018 PHP 5 and 7.0 became End of Life. It is now July 2019 and up to 74% of PHP powered sites in the top 1 million are running software that is End of Life. This means there is no support and more importantly if new vulnerabilities are discovered, there will be no security fixes released. |

Creating WordPress Forms That Get Filled In
Most of us have got at least one form somewhere on our WordPress site. It might be a simple contact form. Or a newsletter signup. A purchase form maybe. Or perhaps something more bespoke. In this article, I'm going to give you some tips on adding forms to your website that actually get filled in.
The Strange Case of the Malicious Favicon
During the past year, our Remediation department has seen a large increase in the number of fully spammed sites. The common factors are strangely named and unusually located favicon.ico files, along with the creation of “bak.bak” index files peppered around the website.

PHP Security: SQL Injection (Part 3)

Some weeks ago I have completely reinstalled macOS on my MacBook Pro. Today, while working on one of my projects, I realised that I forgot to reinstall the Imagick PHP extension.
