I'm coding my first php/mysql site and realize that I know very little about security beyond what I learned in my course/book. How much security knowledge do I need before I can publish my own site without being concerned that achieving even modest success will draw hackers and lead to my site being broken into?
If it helps with more specifics, I'm creating a site that will allow users to add plain text content, as well as browse what others have added. The text is meant to be stored in a db.
