Just did a short writeup of PHP4/PHP5 differences

Doing it in pure HTML, will it be better than PHP on working well on all the browsers, seo, etc., . No offenses.... Just wanted to know....

You XSS and SQL Injection write-ups are great. I was completely unaware of both. Guess I better go fix some of my code before some hacker comes along.

Thanks!

As seen from browsers and any other clients, pages served via pure HTML and dynamic PHP make no differences.

Well Here's one thing; I created a "php" page in Dreamweaver & the an image on the page, (actually, the background of a table) wouldnt show up, so I made a HTML page, until I can figure out this PHP stuff... (SOON)

What's The Deal? I uploaded the php file first, & saw that there was no image showing, so I then uploaded the same thing, but by creating a html page in dreamweaver mx, & uploaded the index.html ... I had to delete the index.php from the server for users to see the index.html page on criticalunity.org ... This is an important site, as yoiull see, so please help with any tips, & Ill be looking around, as aparently this seems to be one of the best forums for webmasters Ive seen so far!

Awsome Christopher! Your a Big help! Great Post! Everyone go secure your site!

What about a link to basic tutotials for complete noobs to php like me? Something decent, that actually teaches you to DO something other than make the computer say, "Hello, world!" fifty different ways (in other words, not W3C schools' sorry excuse for a tutorial)? Is it too much to ask of those who write tutorials, "OK, that's nice, but how do you actually USE it?"
