 With the number of security flaws and exploits discovered and released every day constantly on the rise, knowing how to write secure and reliable applications is become more and more important every day. Written by Ilia Alshanetsky, one of the foremost experts on PHP security in the world, php|architect’s Guide to PHP Security focuses on providing you with all the tools and knowledge you need to both secure your existing applications and writing new systems with security in mind. This book gives you a step-by-step guide to each security-related topic, providing you with real-world examples of proper coding practices and their implementation in PHP in an accurate, concise and complete way. Provides techniques applicable to any version of PHP, including 4.x and 5.x Includes a step-by-step guide to securing your applications Includes a comprehensive coverage of security design Teaches you how to defend yourself from hackers Shows you how to distract hackers with a “tar pit” to help you fend off potential attacks.  PHP is far more than a cult language or open-source icon. It's a
remarkably capable language that's well integrated with lots of
technologies--notably mSQL and MySQL database servers--and quite easy
to learn. Programming PHP
helps you up the PHP learning curve, very nearly guaranteeing that
you'll find in its pages an example that illustrates every fundamental
aspect of the language and its most important extension modules. Plus,
there's some cool advanced stuff, like recipes for manipulating images,
working with Extensible Markup Language (XML) content, and generating
Adobe Acrobat (PDF) files. Rasmus Lerdorf invented PHP and quarterbacks
its ongoing evolution, so there's little question of the content's
authority. The authors use a Talmudic style to explore PHP's
capabilities and explain them to their readers, meaning that they like
to present code and commentary in close formation, with each enhancing
the other. Typically, they'll present a capability generically and show
the relevant code. Then they'll dig into variations on the theme,
calling attention to required code alterations as they go. This is a
book about PHP itself, so practically no attention is paid to PHP
Builder or other development tools. Regardless, this book will help you
solve programming challenges with PHP, and enable you to write
efficient, attractive code. --David Wall  Being highly flexible in building dynamic, database-driven web
applications makes the PHP programming language one of the most popular
web development tools in use today. It also works beautifully with
other open source tools, such as the MySQL database and the Apache web
server. However, as more web sites are developed in PHP, they become
targets for malicious attackers, and developers need to prepare for the
attacks. Security is an issue that demands attention, given the growing frequency of attacks on web sites. Essential PHP Security
explains the most common types of attacks and how to write code that
isn't susceptible to them. By examining specific attacks and the
techniques used to protect against them, you will have a deeper
understanding and appreciation of the safeguards you are about to learn
in this book. In the much-needed (and highly-requested) Essential PHP Security,
each chapter covers an aspect of a web application (such as form
processing, database programming, session management, and
authentication). Chapters describe potential attacks with examples and
then explain techniques to help you prevent those attacks. Topics covered include: - Preventing cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities
- Protecting against SQL injection attacks
- Complicating session hijacking attempts
