SQL injection and how to protect your website

Experienced developers are expensive. In a world where cutting cost seems like the best option, companies try to maximize their profit by spending less and less on good talent. It is much cheaper to hire someone who just learned php a few weeks ago then a seasoned developer. But it becomes a very bad investment when the newbie introduces insecure code. The problem is, a lot of things learned from those LAMP CRUD application tutorial do not focus much on security. When this code is introduced to a commercial application, the damage can be very expensive. I like how stackoverflow users are fighting very hard to eradicate SQL injection, I am doing my part too but it seems like it is much easier to find insecure code on-line. That said, I will attempt to scare you off your feet so you know better what is the cost of SQL injection.

CSS minifier in PHP

A while ago, I was trying to find a way to reduce the number of HTTP requests made on my pages. To make development easier, each section of the CSS is in a different file; this way, I know exactly where everything is located when I want to make changes. However, making 10 to 15 request just to get the CSS is too much overhead. It could be much better if I could combine them all into one.
