This is a design that comes up in roundups every once in awhile, and small wonder, it’s neat. Newspond is a sort of news aggregator with a science and technology focus. They determine article importance with their own automated metrics rather than solely by user votes. It’s kind of like TechMeme before they decided to start having editors, but much better looking.

I really like the design. It’s sleak and simple, yet very stylized. It’s slightly reminiscent of Apple, but not quite.

In this tutorial we will build an online bookmark system. This will be used to create a database for storing all our URL’s and their descriptions. By creating our own, we have full control over our application, allowing us to tweak it to suit our needs.

You may already be familliar with the problem of MySQL Injection, a common exploit that can cause irreparible damage to a database.

You may not be aware of it, but there is an alternative to the “mysql_*” function set. The mysqli functions, for “MySQL Improved” are used in much the same way as their predecessor, but they have some advantages. One such advantage is “Prepared Statements,” a method of preparing a query that separates the data from the syntax.

Prepared Statements are a little harder to use, but they are more secure, and arguably easier to write and maintain.

Prepared Statements in PHP and MySQLi

Instead of grabbing and building the query string using things like $_GET['username'], we have ?’s instead. These ?’s separate the SQL logic from the data. The ?’s are place holders until the next line where we bind our parameters to be the username and password. The rest of the code is pretty much just calling methods which you can read about by following some of the links at the end of the article.
