10 Principles of the PHP Masters

I found an article about 10 principles of the php masters. There is an interesting thing about the list however. Number 7 and 8 on the list will be impossible to follow at the same time for example.

The list is as follows:

  • Use PHP Only When You Need it – Rasmus Lerdorf
  • Use Many Tables With PHP and MYSQL for Scalability – Matt Mullenweg
  • Never, ever trust your users – Dave Child
  • Invest in PHP Caching – Ben Balbo
  • Speed up PHP Development with an IDE, Templates and Snippets – Chad Kieffer
  • Make Better Use of PHP’s Filter Functions – Joey Sochacki
  • Use a PHP Framework – Josh Sharp
  • Don’t use a PHP Framework – Rasmus Lerdorf
  • Use Batch Processing – Jack D. Herrington
  • Turn on Error Reporting Immediately – David Cummings

Take a look at the original post to get an explanation of each of the statements.
