Lets say for someone who is new to PHP, how long does it normally takes to learn where the minefields are? Is there anyway to start on this? I know in JS there

Lets say for someone who is new to PHP, how long does it normally takes to learn where the minefields are? Is there anyway to start on this? I know in JS there is Javascript The Good Part. Is there anything equivalent in PHP?
- ericd 15y agoHm, not that I know of. The biggest thing is to read about PHP's security issues (especially how to avoid SQL injection attacks). After that, it's mostly writing code in it. If you start by writing PHP like you'd write C and then branch out, you can figure it out. Stay away from running anything shell related from your PHP code or anything that manipulates the file system unless you know what you're doing. If you're doing anything that's very critical to your users, I'd probably do it in a different language.
- wvenable 15y agoProbably using a mature PHP framework and following it's style would avoid almost everything.
