Since I spend most of my day on here, would anyone give me their comments on the article I wrote for Jason?

Good article, eargerly awaiting the second part.

Here are some things that you might want to consider:
method="post" vs method="POST" some browsers are still stupid and default to GET unless they get POST exactly.

You might want to provide a brief digression in your followup article about not connecting to the database as the database owner, if you can create additional non-privileged database users.

Otherwise I don't see anything missing that would fit in the scope of the tutorial

Except that is probably beyond the scope of the article. Good point, wrong article. :D

Well the followup article is targetting security, so it might be in the scope. Or maybe a part III will be needed to go from common security to paranoid :)

please do. Answering 30 of those per day is part of what prompted me to write the article.

Thanks to everyone for the feedback.

Jason: Finally, there is a special rank on this board only one person has (/me winks @ piera), and that rank is "Jason's GF"
Piera: I would hope I'd be ranked as your girlfriend. If someone else has that rank then you have alot of explaining to do
I think we can exclude 'the women?' :D

Well, ironically, Piera and I met Because of PHP, and partly because of NewbieNetwork.net.

To make a long story short, I kept seeing Chris (PHPDeveloper.org) post about a place called #php on an IRC server called OpenProjects (irc.openprojects.net). So I checked it out, and started hanging out there.

Well, that is where Piera and I met, and now instead of living 8 hours away, I live 8 minutes away. So in some far off place, yes, building that website got me a chick. 8) 8) 8) 8)
