Stefan Esser points out a new patch today - CORE GRASP - from the Core Security Technologies group that provides taint support surrounding the mysql_query function.
Their implementation adds a tainted or not flag for every byte so that it is possible on invocation of mysql_query() to determine any kind of injection.
Unfortunately, Stefan also mentions two big issues it might have from the get-go: the overhead for the memory needed can slow things down and an incorrect parsing in their query handler could lead to injection attacks.

Frustrated with the lack of something simple (like mysql_fetch_assoc) in the new mysqli extension, this new function was created an posted about on the Internet Super Hero blog - mysqli_stmt_get_results.
By help of the new function, you can create a mysqli_result object from a statement that returns data (SELECT and other - version dependent!). Then you can use the mysqli_result object to process the returned data: fetch results, access meta data - all you can also do using a mysqli_result object returned by mysqli_query().
Included in the post are a few code examples showing the simplicity of the function and how it can still be used with the standard mysql_* functions to grab the results.

The Zend Developer Zone has posted part six of their tutorial creating an Ajax chat application with the help of the Zend Framework. This part of the series focuses on updating the user list for the current participants in the conversation.
Updating the user list should occur whenever the user adds a new chat message or refreshes the chat window. Since we already use the MessageAction() method on our PHP IndexController class to forward such responses to the browser, we’ll simply amend it to also return a list of currently online users.
They work through the code updates to make it happen - changes to the MessageAction in the IndexController that include the addition of a few new methods.
