On Chris Shiflett's blog today he has a new post dealing with the O'Reilly book that he's written - Essential PHP Security.

A little over a month ago, I finally finished writing Essential PHP Security, a guide to secure PHP programming that I've been working on in my spare time for quite a while.

I'm really happy with the results. The people at O'Reilly have been great to work with, and I was lucky enough to have some of the best technical reviewers an author could ask for (Adam, David, George, and John). The result is a lean 150 page guide that covers what I feel are the most important topics with which a PHP developer should be familiar.

The book is due to be published in October (in time for the Zend PHP Conference and Expo), but you can buy it from Amazon today.

He gives the table of contents of the book, which includes a (very) brief intoruction section (not a general PHP intro) and then covers each of the most vulnerable areas for every site out there.

It definitely looks like it will be one that takes up residence on my bookshelf...
