PDO (PHP Data Objects)

Cheat sheet for using PDO to interact with MySQL db's

Used to use MySQL then found out it was being depreciated, this is of course right after I got the hang of it and was almost finished with the project i was using to learn myself. So desided to make the switch to PDO way much easier especially if you have security in mind.

For instance instead of $var = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['data'];, you just $var = $db->quote($_POST['data'];. Or even better use prepared staements and the underlying driver will not only escape but quote the string for you!

Writing Magento Modules

All custom modules should have a Namespace and Module Name. These are used below as {Namespace} and {Module}.

Caution: The Magento autoloader is known to have problems with CamelCase namespaces and/or modules between Windows and *nix systems. If your module requires more than one word for either of these, it is best to just concatenate them to avoid any issues (Example: {Namespace}_{Examplemodule}).
