Great series of security tutorials

[conradk]

Hello

I found some good videos about PHP security here:

Obviously, there's also a first part to this tutorial I encourage you to watch them if you aren't used to PHP security.

Two more links for the ones that want to get more secured:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_request_forgery
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Session_fixation

Stay safe,

echo ‘<p><font color=”red” size=”+1″>Please enter your first name!</font></p>’;

Lost interest when I saw that !

Also, there is no need to escape the zip code, as it is forced to only be numbers by the regular expression.

And the other thing is that this code ends up way longer than it needs to be

I'm sure it well explained though

Yeah, I noticed he does escape somethings that don't need to be escaped. But I guess that the goal is not to teach guys like you But more PHP 'newbies' like myself so as to get us used to using these security methods

Another great site, which also explains how to prevent session fixation, cookie theft and stuff like that:

I know it's about security but I thought he did a little to much. He had like 50 random number generators on the password o_O
