Hi,
I just implemented a phpbb3 forum, and considering I only have the one day's experience with forum programming, I'm really not sure if I did it correctly, or securely.
pekingese-dogs.net/forums
What are some things I should be aware of in terms of security and overall stability? If it is not too out of your way, I was wondering if some of the members here would try cracking it and let me know what vulnerabilities there are I could work on? (Try not to go tooo wild.)
This is also my first time working with MySQL, and I just have one question about it presently. Is it better to create a new database for every website I do, or for multiple websites to share a single database using different prefixes? I don't know much about this, but my general programming background suggests a database shouldn't be too large since that can lag simple queries, while, on the other hand, my web host suggests more databases means more cost. How do you guys have it set up? I expect probably a few hundred users per website.
Thanks again,
Eugene
