PHP – Security

Coding Critique
Coding Critique is the place to post source code for peer review by other members of DevNetwork. Any kind of code can be posted. Code posted does not have to be limited to PHP. All members are invited to contribute constructive criticism with the goal of improving the code. Posted code should include some background information about it and what areas you specifically would like help with.
