Hello Jon,
Great points.
I think an even worse attack would be what happened to WordPress not too long
ago, the code itself on the distribution servers was tinkered with.
Wow, that's really awful. Didn't know about that.
It's a little unfair to point out XSS as being only a Joomla issue.

I am writing a logging class which writes all the data that are to be
logged in a buffer and when the destructor is called the buffer is
cleared and written to some data storage.
So I wanted to know whether I can rely on the destructor to be called.
In my tests I just figured out that i

I am by no means a database expert, but why would one want to store

Critical thinking is certainly a talent that is taken for granted, and often
missed in the standard interviewing process. Although workspace cleanliness
and code hygeine is 'nice-to-have' I'd trade it for the guy that I could

Lots of good points.
In that case you may also consider someone who does PHP development as a

Hello all,
So, once again, depending on the actual job description, I might take some ugly
code (in any real work environment, there should be no shortage of that :),
print it out, and give the candidate a pad and a pen, or a text editor, and say
"Clean this up. I'll be back in 20 minutes."
