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.

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?'

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.
