One of the foremost reasons for PHP Code Reviews is Deprecated Code. Code Deprecation is a result of the evolution of a web language through versions, which mandates certain aspects of existing code be updated. The cause of web site deprecation is usually lazy programmers and either complacent or unaware site owners.

Deprecation is a stage of partial support prior to the next stage, which provides no support at all. During the period of deprecation, PHP Code still works, but superior code exists to take its place in the new language version. This is an overlapping in time allowing programmers to learn new aspects of the PHP language and to replace old PHP code with new PHP code.

If PHP Programmers fail to learn new versions of the PHP Language, they fall behind… the result being a deprecated web site. If left unchecked and the web server is updated to the current PHP version, the deprecated website may stop working altogether.

Most web sites, esepcially eCommerce web sites, receive information from users via web forms. Users typically submit information by using supplied web forms, but hackers can submit form data directly to the server using various other methods. Any PHP web program that accepts user web data must cleanse and validate it before parsing, processing and handling it.

Validation of submitted web form data filters user information based on what is expected or not. A phone number should not contain text, and a name should not contain numbers. Email addresses must match a prescribed format and character set.

Cleansing submitted web form data removes illegal characters and protects PHP Programs from injection methods. Cleansing may mean the removal of, or simply marking of illegal characters so they cannot become part of the PHP Programming, preventing hacking. Simple effective hacking protection.
