Posted on: 2003-07-24

Hello,

Security issues have always been a major concern for those that are responsible for Web sites. Every day, security experts discover new vulnerabilities in computer programs that many of us use in our Web sites.

That would not be a problem if such experts would not use the knowledge about those vulnerabilities to compromise our systems and cause any harm.

22. The page for rating packages

Posted on: 2003-05-24

Hello,

I forgot to mention that the page for rating packages is already available at:

http://www.phpclasses.org/rate.html

Obviously, contributors may not rate their own packages. Only users that have downloaded a package may rate it.

Regards, ...

21. New package rating system and PHP classes contests

Posted on: 2003-05-24

Hello,

Finally I made time to implement a package rating system for the packages that all authors have contributed to the PHP classes site.

This will allow the users to find the best classes made available in the site. This is especially important because not only the users will not spend so much time evaluating many similar packages, but will also encourage authors to provide more and better classes in criteria that matter to most users.
