One of the problems here also, its that its possible with PHP to make
insecure programs that run just fine. You can code away for days with
seemingly great working program, but if you don't take the precautions
to prevent attacks, its a recipe for disaster. As others have said,
its about knowing where the security risks are, and taking the steps
to prevent them. Using htmlentities() is a good step to help prevent
XSS, and being sure to turn off register_globals helps as well.

And Andrew, in PHP5, there is a new error flag, E_STRICT, which throws
warnings when you use deprecated functions. See:
