I have just recently started writing some simple scripts for form emailing and other simple stuff.
A few weeks ago I read about forum boards getting hijacked so was wondering about securty issues. Can anybody reccomend some resources to study up on this before I invest time and effort doing something that will expose my scripts and mysql database to being comprimised?
Thanks
Doug

Just search for 'php security'. Here's one.
Here's another.
Number one beginner mistake is allowing a malicious url to be included when using includes.
Most security issues you've been reading about are database things, not all, but most. Don't take security for granted, always escape and protect any fields that a user can insert data into, including query strings.
Use magicquotes for all db work. Test all variables for hacker attempts.
