There is no good reason to bloat your methods to over 10-20 lines long and on the rare occasions that you do exceed 10 - 20 lines it would be more the exception to the rule as opposed to being the rule itself!

By default, request data in PHP is handled by using Super Globals ($_POST, $_GET, $_COOKIES). Globals are bad for several reasons (outside the scope of this example google here). In an effort to remedy this, we need a way to encapsulate the request data into an object. By doing this, we are centralising access to request data through the one channel - the HTTP Request object.

This CAPTCHA script allows a user to easily customize things such as the string length, minimum and maximum font size, image size, the font used, and even the characters used, etc... Unlike most CAPTCHA scripts that generate the random text based on an md5 hash of the time, this one lets the user input specific numbers, uppercase, and lowercase characters they want used (or don't want used) in the creation of the CAPTCHA image. It also assures, regardless of the length of the string, that there is at least both 1 random upper and lowercase character in the string, thus making it more difficult for bots. Another feature in this script is that it randomly rotates each character on the image.

Testing is an essential aspect of developing in any programming language. If you don't test your source code then how can you verify it works as expected? Manual testing can only be performed irregularly and usually only in limited ways. The answer to testing source code regularly, and in depth, is to write automated tests which can be frequently executed. In PHP such tests are usually written using a unit testing framework, a framework which allows the source code of any application or library to be tested as isolated units of functionality such as a single class or method. As unit testing has gained popularity, it has become a standard practice in PHP with libraries and frameworks such as Swiftmailer, the Zend Framework and Symfony all requiring unit test coverage of their source code.

Typically, one will register a desired username, and setup a password, then fill out a bit of information to stock a profile, like: location, interests, etc. and you're done. You can then access parts of the site that were once restricted, participate in forum discussions and cast your vote on polls - you get the idea. But how is that done? How do they distinguish between members? How can I do that with my site? Read on and you will learn how to allow visitors to register as members, and allow them to login/logout of your website.
