CSRF tokens in symfony

narko — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 12:33:35 GMT

What is that CSRF thing? CSRF, or Cross-site request forgery, is a form of attack that takes advantage on the trust that a web application has on the user’s browser. If a different site than yours makes a user do a rquest to your site, since the user has a cookie session for your site, if you don’t have further protection, your application will...

Templating engines in PHP - Follow-Up

narko — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 12:33:35 GMT

My post about template engines in PHP received more than 70 comments as of now, and counting. That's a lot considering most of them are really well thought out, and backed with solid counter-arguments. Thanks everybody for taking the time to participate constructively to the discussion. I'm really proud that the PHP community (or at least the small...

Symfony log management with `logrotate` on Linux

narko — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 12:33:35 GMT

It sucks when server disks fill up. I have Nagios set up to notify me well before it’s a problem, but it happens annoyingly frequently, and it’s always the same cause: log files. Symfony’s production environments don’t create logs, but the development environments do, and for one project I had several batch jobs logging to the myproject/log directory...

narko — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 12:33:35 GMT

Hi, Every PHP developper who had one day to deal with a LDAP tree realized sadly there was no ready to use library to do all the dirty work. That always meant back the the PHP doc and re invent the wheel over and over again. As it is more often people ask me about symfony and LDAP, I decided [...]

Using CKEditor in symfony 1.2 admin generator

narko — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 12:33:35 GMT

The symfony admin generator is a BIG time saver. It’s almost like magic, it generates an administration interface based on your database models. If you spend countless hours creating lists and forms to manage data in tables, you are crazy not to use it. When you have HTML content in a table, the ideal is to show a WYSIWYG editor instead of the TEXTAREA where the HTML will be displayed...

narko — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 12:33:35 GMT

Pre-fill a form in Symfony Hi all, I hope I didn’t miss anything evident since my issue really sounds easy at first sight… What is my problem ? I just want to re-use in the backend objects that already exist to pre-fill some forms. Let’s illustrate the situation with a concrete exemple before jumping into the code. A shop sells more than 100...
