CMS comparison: phpBB vs vBulletin
Oct 1, 2025 1:29 pm
phpBB is free and decent. vBulletin costs $160 but the admin panel and mod system are worth it for serious forums.

PHP 5 adds real OOP with access modifiers, interfaces, and exceptions. Migrating my code from PHP 4 and loving it.

Jun 9, 2025 7:29 am
Always use mysql_real_escape_string(). Never trust user input. Sessions need regenerated IDs. Security checklist inside.

EXPLAIN your queries! Adding proper indexes cut my page load from 3 seconds to 200ms. Index design matters.
