Chris Shiflett recently visited our local PHP Users Group, and after the meeting, I was inspired to buy his book in preparation for a big PHP project.


Without a doubt this has changed how I view security. Before, I was aware of potential holes; I knew what SQL injection was. After reading this book, though, I feel like I have a true grasp on what I have to do to make my code secure.


In fact, I even see the difference when I look at my old code. I see potential problems.


After reading this book, some might say that Chris teaches you to be paranoid, but I would argue that he teaches you to be thorough.


I highly recommend this book for anyone with a little PHP experience.
