i don't know enough about PHP to know what "dynamic function call is." can you explain that in a paragraph so that i'll know when i come across it?

thank you.

Just make sure that you don't use dynamic function calls, that is a rather
large security hole. Other than that I don't think there is a problem.

i'd like some expounding on this as well...


do i need worry about security if i'm not doing anything secure or any
credit card stuff?

if i'm just using php to display dynamic content in templates, are
there big
security issues that i need to consider?

O'Reily's _Programming PHP_ is a great general purpose PHP book.
However,
I have yet to find a book that will endow you with knowledge necesary
to
produce "safe" PHP web-sites. If you don't look into this first, you
will
most definitely have security holes when you build your first PHP site
(which is why we redid the UUG site). X-site scripting is the biggest
problem.
