Pro PHP Security From Application Security Principles to the Implementation of XSS Defenses

---

Thanks for purchasing the second edition of this book. It’s been almost five years since the first edition was published, and that meant that a lot has changed in the world of web security. Our goal for this edition of the book was simple: reorganize the book from a web developer’s perspective, update important new information as it applies to PHP security, and leave out any information that was outdated. As far as organization goes, you’ll find that most of the information from the first edition is present in this book, but it’s been reordered so as to emphasize what web developers care about most: their own code, their own database queries, and their own code base. The book then expands to take into account safe operations (like using Captchas and safe execution of remote procedure calls) and then finishes up with creating a safe environment. Along the way, we’ve added new information on securing your MySQL databases and RESTful services, and we’ve updated most sections with current thinking on web security for the PHP developer. We also reviewed each URL to make sure that links were still active. Because security is such a fast- moving field, there’s no way that this information will be 100% current when this book is printed, but at the very least we’ve made great efforts in keeping you up to date. Finally, we went through the entire book and removed information that was outdated. In some cases, this meant amending a few sentences here and there; in other cases, it meant wholesale section deletions and rewrites. We tried to be as conservative as possible, but once again, security is a fast- moving field and it’s easy to have information that is only of passing or academic interest. We made the decision that working developers probably wouldn’t have an interest in exploits that were patched half a decade ago.
