Hi Larry, first off, I'd like to say thank you for your time and effort spent in writing these books.
I'm almost done with PHP For the Web(5th edition) and have been very much enjoying it. I attempted to learn PHP a couple years ago and got very frustrated with it. Your book has made it much easier to follow and understand.
My question is, since I'm almost done with this one, I'd like to start on your PHP and MySQL for Dynamic Web Sites next. I have a copy of the fourth edition sitting on my desk, and I doubt I'm going to be able to wait until the next edition comes out. Are there any outdated bad habits, as far as security measures go, that I may have to worry about picking up in the fourth edition? I'm planning on starting work on a social web app soon and don't want to have to go back and change a ton of code because of obsolete security practices.
Once again, thank you so much for your time spent on these books!
