Its PHP Friday!
Long ago, when I was discovering the language of PHP, I was very interested in finding out the security issues that I may come across and things I can do to prevent them. There is a name that is basically synonymous with security in PHP, and that name is Chris Shiflett. Chris wrote the O’Reilly book “Essential PHP Security” in 2005 which is often referred to in many security articles and posts. Chris has also contributed to many other PHP publications.
One of his biggest contributions to the PHP community is the PHP Security Consortium that he founded. This Consortium houses many key projects including the highly recommended: “PHP Security Guide” free to download and a must read.
I want to close this by saying, if you choose to code a web language, you need to take responsibility and learn how to code securely. Nobody is incapable of mistakes, but you need to absolutely do your best to code secure applications. Security needs to take the front seat and always be in your mind when coding an application. The first step to preventing bad code is education. Read articles, books, and warnings. There are many very common mistakes that you can educate yourself on how to prevent.
