Don't Be A GoogleDork. Dan Gillmor points to a thoughtful article on search and security, published on The Register today. In it the author points out how easy it is to use Google's more advanced search features to find sensitive data left carelessly in the clear by webmasters (or, as the author puts it, by Bob in Marketing who has no idea he's even publishing to the public web). The article is full of example searches, which is rather fun, and includes a pointer to an entire site of hacks that is worth checking out, called Googledorks.

phpClasses.org: Review of Advanced PHP Programming. In one of the first reviews that I've seen of this book, phpClasses.org has posted a new summary and review of the new book - Advanced PHP Programming from SAMS by George Schlossnagle. [PHPDeveloper.org]

evening. It's a rare PHP book: one that I was very glad I bought. Most
of them are big disappointments, but this one is really interesting,
well written, and contains a lot of good info. For the record, the
other one I use most often is, not surprisingly, O'Reilly's PHP Cookbook.
