PHP security

[radofeya]

Hi,
I'm a PHP newbie.

May I know, what should I do in order to increase the security for a PHP script as well as the PHP script with MySQL.

Do a lot of preg_matches to check for any malicious inputs is one.

x10 has a lot of settings to protect us from malicious users, but as VPmase said, the most important thing is to NEVER THRUST THE USER. Whatever you need as imput, check it. The function everybody likes: preg_match().
