Robert Peake put his two cents in on Chris Shiflett's new O'Reilly book - Essential PHP Security - in this post on his blog today.

Chris Shiflett's latest book, Essential PHP Security, should be required reading for all PHP professionals. It is the necessary antidoe to the common misperception that PHP applications fall short on security. With sparkling clarity, Chris demystifies dozens of attacks and provides both solid theoretical and practical bases for coding securely in PHP.

While this book does not cover using encoders to heighten security in a plain-text scripting language, every other topic you would expect to be covered is treated -- above all -- with accuracy, and all in just over a hundred pages.

So, it seems that Robert gives it two big thumbs up and even raises it up to a "required reading" level for those in his department...
