We're happy to announce that our latest book, php|architect's Guide to PHP Security, is now available for purchase and immediate download from our online store.

Written by security expert (and frequent php|a contributor) Ilia Alshanetsky, with a foreword by PHP creator Rasmus Lerdorf, our new book provides complete coverage of a wide variety of security-related topics, from XSS to SQL injection, to sandboxes and tarpits.

Written for PHP developers who want their applications to be safe and sound, this book offers you a clear path to understanding, preventing and solving all security-related problems using clear and concise language and dispensing with the fluff. Also included in the book is a complete step-by-step guide to securing existing applications.
