I'm a PHP programmer by trade and I can tell you that nothing in this article is really sensible.

PHP is the last thing I'll think of when dealing with SPA's, PWA's and chatbots, I'd use JavaScript (or TypeScript) for that. I also tend to not associate PHP with IOT, but rather Python.

User Interfaces? HTML and CSS, come on.

Cybersecurity in PHP? Are you serious? PHP is the laughing stock when it comes to security since it's so damn easy to get it wrong.

<?php
echo 'Hello ' . $_POST['name'] . '!<br>';
?>

<form method="POST">
    <input type="text" name="name">

    <input type="submit">
</form>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Here's your XSS vector.
