I cannot believe that no one with alot of PHP and MySQL experience has not
replied to this post yet.  Is PHP not a secure scripting language?  I would
really like a little insight into this question, anyone?

I'll bite! ;-(

A. You gave so much code that those of us on the list who may be working may
have not had time to set it all up and test it.
2. Security from what standpoint? That you can't be hacked? That people
can't use your CMS without authorization? That your code is complicated
enough to be impressive? Test your code...if it works you're good, if
not...fix it.
III. Your code is somewhat bloated, you don't have to go through everything
you go through to assure yourself security. Is this for an Intranet? If so
is the URL to the CMS accessible through the firewall? If for an Internet
site have you thought about putting the CMS on an SSL.

Dang...and D. PHP is secure. You may, to assuage any further fears, encrypt
any username password information that gets transmitted from the login to
the server the first time. That is very insecure. I could port sniff your
butt to kingdom come and gain usernames and passwords all day long. You
cannot believe that no one with alot of PHP and MySQL experience has not
replied to this post yet. I cannot believe that anyone asking about security
would transmit the initial login as plain text...so we're even.
