Security in PHP - module H117
If you put a PHP application on a public server, you probably intend it to be used by the public. Anyone with web access can come along to your page and run your scripts, but you're not going to be there to police them all the time. This module looks at the aspects of PHP security you should be aware of to prevent malicious actions, and also suggests that you consider security against simple user error too.

This topic is presented on public course PHP Programming
