I think to sanitize form data you must use mysql_real_escape_string(), and not htmlspecialchars()

From the PHP manual “[mysql_real_escape_string] must always (with few exceptions) be used to make data safe before sending a query to MySQL.”

Agree with John. Anyone reading this is now more dumb. 7, 8 and 9 are absurd and the rest you should know BEFORE Programming 101.

Great Article…one problem:

Adding the shai1 to the ($userpass) gives an added bit of security to the session. Sha1 isn’t a bulletproof method, but it’s a nice barrier of security to keep malicious users at bay.

Should be:

Adding the sha1 to the ($userpass) gives an added bit of security to the session. Sha1 isn’t a bulletproof method, but it’s a nice barrier of security to keep malicious users at bay.

(You wrote shai1 instead of sha1)

Not a major problem, but I though you might want to know!

Of course, E_ALL is important, as long as you can track down what PHP is telling you. I’d recommend for all the new PHP programmers to check out:

Actually, many of the people that commented to this thread have written books and articles on the topic.

No one in the above claimed that their code was perfect, or any of that other non-sense you’re accusing people of. The fact of that matter is, very simply, that a lot of the advice was wrong or misleading.
