For anybody interested in some really good answers. I later asked this question on security.stackexchange.com: https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/196833/how-secure-is-the-ciphersweet-library-for-searchable-encryption-and-why-is-a-du
I'm currently managing a code base in which we've got a mysql database with all records encrypted using the php-encryption library. This works well for our current setup. We now got a new business requirement that should make it possible to do a SELECT based on one of the encrypted fields.
Since it is impossible to select based on the encrypted values I searched around and found ciphersweet. It's a new (6 months old) repo with currently only 136 github stars. I've read through a blogpost about it written by the company behind the lib. It sounds ok, but since I'm not a cryptographic expert I can't really judge it's secureness.
Is there anybody else out there who can comment on this library/technology? or does anybody know another source where the quality of this technology is evaluated?
I don't know this lib, but the company authored https://github.com/paragonie/random_compat which is the de facto standard.
It is even mentioned on https://php.net/random_bytes
Note: Although this function was added to PHP in PHP 7.0, a » userland implementation is available for PHP 5.2 to 5.

i am building CRUD pages for over 20 tables with different schemes
in ASP .NET i just need to use DataGrid and (almost) everything is handled automatically
is their any equivalent for DataGrid in php that will allow user to add, delete and update records in mysql table with out the need to write all the php/SQL codes
phpGrid (www.phpgrid.com) can handle all you CRUD needs. It's a commercial product, but man, it worths every penny. You can also download the free lite version and use it for free.
There are some DataGrids which have php libraries to make crud operations. Some of them are not free. You can take a look at this nice list of selection. http://php-team.blogspot.com/2009/05/10-jquery-datagrid-plugins.html
If you want to generate php code, there are free and commercial software, i advice you to take a look at phpmaker.
You can try DaDaBIK www.dadabik.org.

I wanted to know about Data Type implementation in PHP so I need a few resources(books websites and ...). what I want is not what data types PHP support or how to use them, it's the implementation and how all these things is done by PHP. I want to know how they are stored in memory and the very detail things about it(I already know PHP pretty good). That would be great if you could lead me where can I find this information.
Somewhere like IRC Maxwell's blog would be a good starting point, together with nikic's blog posts
Here is a couple of articles on data types in PHP from PHP Rocks and dummies. An interesting aside when it comes to data types in PHP is Type Hinting which will force a data type to be used for a function parameter.

I am familar with CakePHP 1.3 and I would like to learn the novelties in CakePHP2.
I know there is the new cookbook and also the migration guide. Still, I would like something broader than the migration guide without having to read all the cookbook again. I am thinking about something like a series of blog posts, in the spirit of the Django advent.
Is there anything like this around?
At CakeFest this year Mark Story gave a presentation on the changes and they posted it as a video of changes in 2.0. I found this to be a good high-level intro and might fit what you're looking for.
The other presentations from CakeFest 2011 might be useful to you too.
I think the only things you need is 2.0 Migration Guide and New Features in CakePHP 2.0. Other thing is practice.

We are planning on building a pay per view (PPV) video solution but we have no idea from where to start. Here are the current givens:
it will be hosted on Linux
using PHP
Database: MySQL
And by PPV I mean:
- going to website, selecting a movie to watch/download
- going to payment portal and paying
- being now able to watch/download
So here is my question, from where to start?
is there an existing (recommended) solution that we can download/buy?
Any information would be really appreciated
I was just reading about someone who had a platform like this intended for adult movies that he was offering, may have even been open source. I'm sorry I forget what it was, but even if your content is G rated, software intended for porn will probably have the features you want so I'd start looking there. It's a big industry so there has to be a few ready made solutions available.

I need a simple forum backed by a SQLite 3 database which I can easily integrate into my new project, something in the line of Vanilla forum.
What do you suggest?
The SQLite Users page lists a few forums for use with SQLite (honest, no idea how up-to-date the list is, though):
PunBB: a message forum package, like phpBB but leaner, written in PHP
{phpBB} supports SQLite from phpBB version 3 (currently in beta)
{Monkey Boards}
{Pocoo}
BookGoldMine.com: A website with a large collection of links to a large number of free books and lectures. Back end is SQLite 3 & SQLite.net.
You can compare the features of all popular forums here http://www.forummatrix.org/wizard.php
Here it is, not sure which ones support SQLite 3 thought.
