Case in point, I was catching up on some blogs when I discover: http://www.qdh.org.uk/wordpress/?p=214 It's not like there weren't example of the right way to do things for PHP to learn from. With Perl DBI, Java JDBC, and others it's been proven that SQL injection can easily be made a thing of the past. Heck, PHP was originally written in Perl, so its creators should have been familiar with how to write a decent DB access layer. And yet, in 2008 SQL injection is still a real problem for PHP developers. WordPress is a flagship PHP app, and even it can't get SQL injection right? WTF! Maybe only rank amateurs work on WordPress, but I doubt it... or maybe PHP causes brain damage. You decide. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
