Writing PHP is a daily occurrence for myself in both studies and for my day job. In fact, thinking about it, I probably write more PHP than I do English - yikes! In this article, I will explain a sample of the issues I encounter with PHP on a daily basis and wish were different. However, I must say that I am not saying I don’t like PHP, in fact its my language of choice for most tasks due to convenience, simplicity and familiarity.
This article aims to introduce you to security in PHP. During my daily Job I encounter small scripts and even full systems that have some form of security vulnerability. The main vulnerabilities I find are SQL injection and Cross Site Scripting.
Lately I have been having somewhat of a battle with my own conflicting opinions about the various CMS-es available. By CMS I mean any system which allows you to manage and publish content (not necessarily web based). The sites I work with are usually informational based, providing information of some sort and not a web application type service sites such as Twitter.
