Don't forget making it secure. Here is one of my questions people can use if
they like. Feel free to re-word it. I'm a programmer, not a writer ;)
What change(s) would you make to the following code to make it more secure?
$id = $_GET['id'];
mysql_query(“DELETE FROM myTbl WHERE id = $id”);
I like this question, because they have to know at least the fundamentals of
PHP security.
