[wp-hackers] Making WP more secure the evolutionary way

[Daniel Torreblanca]

I really think that Florian's thread is starting to get hijacked, but
as far as syntax goes, I really enjoy working with CakePHP's find()
arguments.

e.g. $this->Listing->find('all', array('conditions' => array('User.id'
=> $user['id']), 'order' => 'Listing.created DESC'));

It gives me the ability to still use SQL syntax directly but the
safety and consistency of more abstraction. The above example is quite
simple, I've used much more complicated ones, and this system makes
generating very dynamic queries easy.
e.g.
