If you code in PHP, and/or use Databases, READ THIS NOW!

it was at one time and somebody unstickied it. I will do it again.

I just re-read this, and had surprisingly forgotten a few things (and I write/edit PHP on a daily basis)...I also read the "claroline" article erisco has in his signature, another good read! I am glad this is a sticky, as all new PHP coders really need to give this a thorough read, as well as "old-hat" PHP coders, because they can easily and quickly forget very pertinent information they once knew! Anyway, just wanted to post again, and maybe get the attention of the ones who haven't read this lately, or even at all.

You've got my attention, Chad. It's an interesting read.

The links in the original post need to be updated: "ilovejackdaniels.com" is no longer the correct domain, since Jack Daniel's contacted the site's owner and made him move to a different domain. The current domain is "addedbytes.com".

Thanks for the update, Garrett. It's been changed.

Awesome post Chad. I read all of them and they really helped. I never even knew about this.

Hi

Interesting and very useful post. I am very new to php and you make me clear about the security in it.

PHP security is very important form the programmer point of view. Security is very serious and precious issue when the transmission of data occur from the source to the destination. The following link is useful in this regard.
http://phpsec.org/
PHP Security Consortium is an international group of PHP experts dedicated to promoting secure programming practices within the PHP community. The various members of the PHPSC help PHP developers about security through a variety of resources. These include documentation, tools and standards.
