Lines of code is typically indicative of effort that goes towards software development. So how do you count lines of code in your PHP application (or for that matter any specific types of files in any application). You can't manually open and count files, that would be a big waste of time. The *nix shell has a powerful set of tools that can help you count lines without having to do it manually.
find . -name "*.php" | xargs wc -l | awk '{print $1}' | awk '{total = total + $1}END{print total}'

We take a moment to acknowledge and thank each of them as we set our eyes on bigger goals and gather the conviction to move forward.

One of the challenges with working with dynamic websites is that you have to keep fighting malicious users who regularly sap your server capacity with rogue crawling of your site. To do this you would have to monitor and analyze the traffic patterns on the server regularly. You would definitely want to do this when you have load spikes on the server and you wish to find out the IP addresses, user agents and the specific URLs which resulted in these spikes.
