Continuing in their security theme for the month of March, the Zend Developer Zone has posted two more Security Tips for PHP developers out there:
- The first tip (#6 on their list) talks about the benefits of casting all of the values going in to your SQL queries. This helps keep you and your data away from things like nasty SQL injection issues that could result in exposure of valuable data.
- The second tip (#7) focuses on regeneration of session IDs to help prevent fixation. They give an example of how, without it, you could inadvertently allow in unauthorized users. Thankfully, one quick function call can remedy the situation - session_regenerate_id.
Check out their full list for more great tips.

Ligaya Turmelle has relayed some great news in her latest blog entry, something that the web’s been needing for a long time - a new group from the W3C created specifically for enhancing the HTML standard.

Edin Kadribasic has posted another new build of the PHP 4.x series and the latest MySQL libraries - PHP 4.4.6-win32 with MySQL 5.0.37.
I have compiled 5.0.36 libs mysqlf since that release didn’t include pre-built windows binaries. I thought it would be the best if we bundled “original” MySQL DLLs so here is the PHP 4.4.6 binary compiled against 5.0.37 MySQL libraries. Upcoming versions of PHP5 are going to include this version of MySQL client library as well.
Click here to download this latest version (two files, both to be dropped into your existing install directory.
