Does the PHP course take secruity into consideration?

Hi

Not sure about the PHP course here if it takes web applications security into consideration or not. Sorry I just want to make sure because as you know there are many people on the internet who teach PHP but without being serious about security issues!

Yes, it does cover some security issues. It is not perfect in covering every possible PHP security hole, but does explain things like escaping text and form inputs. overall I would say it does a good job in laying out some typical PHP security issues, and how to avoid them.
