Hi all,
I am doing some simple website to paypal e-commerce website and have been looking for security issues. An online acquaintance told me about a program called Sentinel which is a 'must-have' for all PHP-based sites, and AFAIK, he demonstrated to me he's able to know the IP address of my web-host by one of the URL of my image.
How important is this? Does it helps against mysql injections or cross-site scripting?
Regards.
What the hey is Sentinel? Do I need its functionality?

Re: What the hey is Sentinel? Do I need its functionality?
Do you even know what SQL injection and cross site scripting is?
... Do you even know how to program?
To answer your question: No. You do not need sentinel. What you do need, that you currently lack, is a basic understanding of web development and programming.
Sorry for being an ass, but it had to be said.

Hey, it's fine. I took the night to read up the sticky thread on security. Thanks for the reply anyway.

Regardless of whether you apologize for being an ass or not, to be perfectly honest, that's not very constructive. Telling somebody on a programming forum that they don't know how to program instead of giving them a descriptive answer is very counterproductive and pretty much goes against the entire point of this forum.
