Hi everyone,

I've been dieing to learn how PHP scripting works because I'd like to add custom hacks to my forum. I know security is a huge issue today since there are people who are always looking to do harm to a site.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me some good books that for n00bs, telling how making php scripts work, and how to protect scripts from having SQL Injections etc.

Thanks

Marc

Once you have the fundamentals down, I would recommend this book as an invaluable reference.
