In Topic: Proper PHP syntax and practices

Posted 16 Jan 2013

I am fully behind Rudi's method of writing PHP and HTML.

I do the same and I find it a really good way of sprinkling snippets of PHP around a design. This makes sure that designers can also work with the front-end. I find it really useful to actually see the design I am working on in Dreamweaver whilst I'm adding the dynamic PHP stuff.
In Topic: How do you guys handle form data?

Yes I know that you can just include that class. But it means adding more protected properties and array items for each new field you want to process. Depending on the project, your class could just keep growing and will be harder to maintain.

Hmmm some good techniques here. However, do any of you get sick of hand cranking this code for each field? I've been playing around with some code recently and I have managed to put together some really neat code. I have looked around quite extensively to find other examples of what I'm trying to do but couldn't find anything. I was quite surprised that there is a lot devs still writing a lot of code.

Massive Attack's Mezzanine album is a great trip-hop album that I listen to whilst coding.

I am aware of the various validation techniques but do you actually hand type the validation code for each field submitted?

Example.
```
if($_POST['name'] != '') {
   $name = strtoupper($_POST['name']);
}

if(filter_var($_POST['email'], FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
   $email = $_POST['email'];
}
...
```
The same goes for the SQL string. Do you actually hand type the prepared statement?
