    <p>Whenever I start any new website project (especially ones using PHP), I plan it out on paper. In order to keep your files neat and organized (architecture) it is wise to follow an MVC format. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model%E2%80%93View%E2%80%93Controller" rel="nofollow">Read more about MVC</a> This is the kind of organizational system I used and that many professionals use.</p> <p>This will make it far easier to scale your web site, and add more pages and functions because your functions will be independent of the pages that your users are looking at and entering information (UI). </p> <p>Also, commenting in your code is VERY important, you can never have enough commenting and that is even more true when you are coding a large web site, because you cannot possibly remember it all, and it will help you very much while making changes and scaling your web site.</p> <p>As far as security, there are methods that you can use to prevent security threats, I have read some good articles on security when it comes to PHP applications. <a href="http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorial/php-security" rel="nofollow">Here is one.</a></p> <p>I can't stress enough that you should plan out how you intend the website to work and lay out the file organization before you start coding, it will save you tons of work and stress in the long run.</p> <p>I have coded large PHP/MYSQL driven web sites before, and I have fallen victim to a lot of errors, please learn from my mistakes, plan out your file structure and how you plan on specific user based interactions to be executed.</p> <p>As for a framework, i've never used one, but i've done the research and they use the MVC format. I like to do it all on my own instead of having to learn a framework. Frameworks are good if you are doing repetitive coding, but even on that note, I use functions for that.</p> <p>Hope this helps! If you have any questions feel free to ask.</p> <ul> <li>Chris</li> </ul>

    1. CO-1: "it is wise to follow an MVC format" is a statement which does not stand up to scrutiny - it's very hard to write a gui app without implementing MVC - but that's not the whole story - making your code fit a pattern is not a good place to start. Reading one article on security is not a solution either. Agreed, planning is critical. A coding standard (even for a sole developer) is vital too. The biggest consideration is about how you handle data-access. IME trivial ORM is a bad idea, and prefer using factories to construct data-bound objects. But you also need to think about abstraction.

    2. COHe was asking a general question so I gave a general answer, assuming he was not familiar with MVC. And I completely agree one article wont do it all, these are all suggestions, additions to this post are great but I said nothing that will harm the asker, so I think you negative vote is unfounded. Thanks for your input.

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.
