PHP security rumor	by UGuardian	2007-01-22 09:54:12
I've been hearing lately that you should put all of your important code (ie, anything that uses a database or needs to be secure) in a class rather than a function or global scope (ie, outside of functions and classes). This is supposedly because the variables used by a class can't be set by GET or POST directly, and this moves everything away from direct contact with the user (who is never to be trusted anyway). Are classes really better security? I've just been using them 'cause they are easier to work with. Now I'm curious. Excluding calls like MyClass.DoSomething($_GET['something']);
