RE: [PHP] Security of PHP code

SECURE, SECURE. It is not how secure PHP is, it is how well YOU protect it. For example = make this line show_source($file); then go to your page like file.php?file=/etc/passwd and you're freaked! There is a whole bunch of way to hack your pages if not protected well enough, but PHP itself has no vital security problems. Try to search the archives for this topic and see what people think/suggest. You will find there thousands of tips on what to do to have a bullet-proof website. (always of the server is yours).
