    <p>I have been learning php, by just plugging away at it.</p> <p>I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction in regards to security, flow and general best practices?</p> <p>Thanks.</p> <p>edit--</p> <p>I suppose a better way to phrase what i am trying to ask is.. What is the best practice:<br> 1.) when processing forms with php, get vs post, $_REQUEST vs $_GET &amp; $_POST<br> 2.) when dynamically creating HTML files (example below)<br> 3.) logins &amp; authentication in the same file as the form creator<br> 4.) Sending e-mail with php </p> <p>From #2 above</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php echo "&lt;h1&gt; Welcome &lt;/h1&gt;"; if ($_SESSION['type'] == "admin") { //lots of html in the echo statment echo "tables and admin interface here"; } else { //lots of html in the echo statment echo "tables and user dashboard here"; } ?&gt; --VS-- &lt;h1&gt; Welcome &lt;/h1&gt; &lt;?php if ($_SESSION['type'] == "admin") { ?&gt; lots of html in the echo statment tables and admin interface here &lt;?php } else { ?&gt; lots of html in the echo statment ables and user dashboard here &lt;?php } ?&gt; --VS-- &lt;?php if($_SESSION['username']): ?&gt; &lt;p&gt;You are logged in as &lt;?=$_SESSION['username']?&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="?logout=1"&gt;Logout&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;?php endif; ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>ps: Thanks to everyone who already responded. Can I also inquire where does a framework fit? I took a class in OOP and we didn't become familiar with any frameworks.</p> <p>I read lot on the Symfony and zend frameworks but am still confused.</p> <p>thanks again.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
