I just starting out learning PHP, I\'ve been developing web apps in ASP.Net for a long time. I was wondering if there are any PHP specific security mistakes that I should be
Use POST method for data passing from one page to another.
Use trim while getting data like trim($_POST).
Also, use strip_tags for variables before you passing into the queries.
I am suggesting you use any framework link Codeigniter, Laravel, YII, Cake PHP because they maid framework with all securities
I suggest Codeigniter for small projects and Laravel for big projects.
