CentOS server for my home business. I use PHP for my intranet but I hear
PHP is a big security sieve. Can anybody recommend good books on website

<br><br>Personally I am looking at moving away from PHP and more to Zope/Python as this is reputedly more secure. Whether that will still be true as it becomes more popular is to be seen.<br><br>John<br>
