bcons - console.log for PHP

Public Beta Released! bcons is officially launched today in beta status, so please sign up at bcons.dev and let us know what you think! Thank you!

@SimonBHB printf-style debugging FTW! 👏👏👏

Ce n'est pas grand chose, mais sa change la vie. #log #debug #php

@trippyjeffjay That is great practice! What we use is a deletionDate date column that defaults to NULL, so you get the deletion date for free :) (Of course any sensitive data is removed for GDPR regulations)

🚀 Just added 🛑 soft delete to my PHP banking app: UPDATE users SET account_status = 'closed' WHERE id = ? No data loss ✅ Audit trail intact ✅ Cleaner than DELETE for fintech apps. ⚙️ Stack: PHP (procedural) | MySQL | PDO | Bootstrap #PHP #Fintech #WebDev #CyberSecurity

@ZembeTakud85527 Good luck and enjoy the journey! And if you need help with the PHP debugging, please take a look at bcons.dev we have a free forever plan and it mimics the Console API used in JS, so you can use the same methods for front and back debugging.

@ZembeTakud85527 Do you see the pattern here? Baby steps doing small things that get you in the app flow. Keep adding features step by step. Of course, if you already know how to work with DBs, replace the JSON files with DB tables.

Hi guys I have 1 year and some months learning how to code and I don't seem to be progressing from the learning stage .I'm in that tutorial he'll and I'm trying to get out and make everything I have read make sense.Send Help please Php html css js #SoftwareDevelopment #PHP

@ZembeTakud85527 - F: a table to show created boxes, to populate it it will call... - B: ...a script that returns existing boxes. - F: a form that allows you to edit a box name, that will call... - B: ...a script that modifies the file.

@iamdevloper Welcome back! Please check out bcons.dev if you miss debugging with the Console API 🙂

Coming back to PHP after years in the JavaScript ecosystem

@HussamSakat We know your pain! Sometimes going for a walk and coming back with a fresh mind also helps.

@Meek_emma007 I'm afraid we can't help with this one 😅

Still debugging, though. If you have any experience with debugging this, please share it in the comments section. 😂😂 #tech #debug #webdevelopment #coding #python #Django #php #laravel #backend #Frontend #programmer #love #chelsea

@Iam_Mayor_ Debugging is a 24/7 task 😅 Please remember that there is a port of the browser Console API to PHP at bcons.dev if you ever miss it in your backend code.

Todays problem still in active, been debugging all day. What did you work on today? #php #javascript

@gbuckingham89 We built a port of the browser Console API to PHP, and it's really helpful for a better "printf style debugging" experience. Data is beautifully displayed in a devtools browser panel. Not as impressive as the examples you mentioned, but our 2 cents 🙂 bcons.dev

I need some examples of awesome PHP projects for an upcoming talk. Things that are pushing the boundaries / a little unexpected from PHP. Things that solve interesting problems. Things that have impressive scale. #php

@MikeLopez Bugs down! Congrats! 💯

Quick wins! Bugs squashed, PRs made. #QuickWins #Productivity #PHP #WebDevelopment #Coding #DeveloperLife #Programming #PHPDev #WishListMember

@CodeHerMind We really hope so! 😃

Is anyone still learning to code in PHP in 2025? 🙂 #php #js #javascript #React

@ItsBenali This is maybe the most important rule for backend development! 💯

Never trust user input in #PHP. Always sanitize and validate to prevent XSS and SQL injection attacks. #CodeTips

@prospercode @ericzhu @jtrevdev @paulg @php4vs @calebpythonista We also love PHP! 😃 BTW, please take a look at your query at line 10, the way you are inserting the userId allows SQL injections and it's a high security risk. You should use prepared statements instead.

PHP actually help me get stuff done easily and faster 🥺🚀 #php #backend

@alyssa_codes I'd learn the basics of the language first if you can, I think it's better to have a little background of a language before learning a framework.

Question for PHP and/or Laravel devs… Do I need to learn the basics of PHP before learning Laravel or will I naturally pick up the syntax of both by starting with Laravel? I’m at a new job that uses Laravel and wanted to know the best way to approach learning. #php #laravel

@sarahesmaili0 Please don't! Taking some time off is a great way to let your mind rest of abstract thinking and come back stronger!

The snow today was magnificent, so I couldn’t help myself… I spent the entire afternoon outside and didn’t write a single line of code. Now I feel guilty… #Laravel #php #WebDevelopment

@renatohysa So true! That's one of the reasons we developed bcons, to enable private per-user debug messages.

🔐 Debug mode is your enemy in production! Always set APP_DEBUG=false or risk exposing sensitive data through error pages. Bonus: Customize error pages to hide your tech stack. #laravel #ddd #php #softwareengineering #devlob

@disc0night Great challenge! The amount of stuff you learn by doing something like this is huge!

I finally picked an e-commerce website as my full-stack project to build. I'm not sure this was a wise pick 😁, because the project looks more complex than I imagined. Day 1 of #100DaysOfCode - work and database planning. #react #php
