With all the strife of the breaking changes with each php ver, the latest php ver that works should be specified. Also- anything less than the very latest version of php is just silly due to all the breaking changes with new php versions. Also, if you combine the small php files into fewer larger ones, it is easy to feed the code to chatgpt or similar in order to audit the code and instantly make changes. Of note, ive seen ChatGPT audit similar PHP ib's and find tons of security vulns. The larger the code base is with PHP, the more vulns. Its why no one cares about php any more. ChatGPT can make a similar board with lesser GO or RUST code and it would be way more secure. PHP is nice for its simplicity- but too much php code renders just about any php app utterly silly. To maintain the benefits of php, boards should be modular, and editable by ChatGPT or similar.
also frameworks like Laravel or TWIG can greatly increase security- they have built in security form handling and so forth. Just ask chatgpt about it... it will explain it in great detail. It is possible to not use a framework with the big IF of IF you use the very latest php version and the code is properly made with security in mind. But be very aware that almost every php ib has serious security vulns. GO and Rust are far superior to PHP in terms of performance and security. PHP is outdated, to be sure. YES, it is possible to make a well designed PHP ib, but great care would have to be made to actually make a secure PHP ib app- it would almost be impossible. Github is full of very NOT SECURE php ib apps. Many just try to hide bad code in lots of separate php files- and are very hackable- not secure at all.
