Essential PHP Security by Chris Shiflett
Security demands attention, given the frequency of attacks on web sites. This work explains the common types of attacks and how to write code that isn't susceptible to them. It covers such topics as preventing cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities; protecting against SQL injection attacks; and, complicating session hijacking attempts.
You've heard the nasty stories about PHP sites being wiped off the web by evil hackers? Sadly it's not scare-mongering as it does happen, and as much as we love PHP it needs proper security to keep your site safe from harmPlenty of PHP books have the odd chapter on security but at last O'Reilly have published a whole volume dedicated to the cause, with all the code you'll need to keep everything in order. Each chapter covers a different aspect of the application, from form processing to database programming and session management. Written in a straight forward style, it's ideal for every PHP user, but at GBP20 you might expect a little more than just 100 pages." .NET, November 2005 "If you write PHP scripts, get a copy" - Alain Williams, news@UK, March 2006
