Hello all, I am currently researching security best practices/methods. Can anyone offer any current resources/recommendations? My research thus far has included password hashing with salting/stretching, session hash defaults, session management & authentication, and prepared statements via PDO in addition to basic PHP.ini and .htaccess server settings and properly escaping and validating input/output. On a side note, PHP versions prior to 5.3+ do not allow to set the httponly flag as a cookie parameter, is there any acceptable alternative for this? Thanks in advance, Jen Rasmussen | Web Development Manager Cetacea Sound Corp P: 763-225-8465 P Before printing this message, make sure that it's necessary. The environment is in your hands
