[UPHPU] PHP4 vs PHP5 on security

[jtaber]

Oh I hit send too fast - I meant to add to check out the book "Essential
Security" by Chris Schifflet - it's small and very readable and packed
with good info and makes a great checklist guide.  I got it on Amazaon
for like $15.

Probably 90+% of security is your code and organization so that's where
to concentrate.  Newer versions might have additional helper functions
or in  case of PHP5 have register globals defaulted to off to make
things easier.

I think we are going to have an upcoming meeting on security (Richard?)
which would be a great time to discuss this kind of stuff.
