Building Security into your PHP Applications Training
Security is one of the most important things to keep in mind when developing web applications. Unfortunately, it is also one of the things most easy to overlook. Reviewing hundreds or thousands of lines of code may be a daunting task, but it is one that can be avoided if an application is developed with security in mind.
This PHP class presents a comprehensive overview of security and has been designed to equip PHP developers with the knowledge they need to build more secure web applications.
