Securing PHP Web Applications is a great book for any PHP developer with an interest in writing better web applications. It covers a wide range of security topics that every developer should be familiar with. It would be useful for anyone hiring a PHP developer to know the concepts outlined in this book to aid in assessing a developers ability. The book introduced me to some new methods of testing web applications that I had not heard of before. Not the best book to hand to a security professional but a great book to hand to any developer lacking in the security department.

It is a very good book which covers all aspects of creating a secure PHP web application

I'm reading this book and several others on safari books online. I found it so good I thought I might as well share with amazon users how useful this book is. If you are developing any application in PHP and you plan to put it online you need to read this book. This book really opened my eyes to how dangerous PHP is without the proper security. I most definitely would recommend this book. I'm sure like any book not every little command and possibility is covered but it sure helps you gain an upper hand in security you most likely didn't have before reading the book.

This book is incredible. I'm always on the search for books for my beginning web programming students that can be understood by folks who will probably never have a CS degree. The hunt is often very disappointing; so, this book is an great find. The code examples start with the common code someone might use and show piece-by-piece how to make the code more secure. The book doesn't make any false promises of total security, but it explains in pleasant, easy-to-understand language why each step should be taken. Hip, hip, hurray for the authors!
