I am new to PHP so need to ask you something. I read some posts in Forums
that many free php scripts contain a spyware code, so programmers can
collect your data. For example they can stole collected members e-mail
addresses or even transaction infos. I read that many hackers download
freeware scripts than they put a malicious code and than they post it on net
waiting for their "victims". Please tell me how I can find out if my script
contains that code ? Where to look for and how this code looks like ? Right
now what I am doing is testing php scripts by HomeSite program. I check php
file for all links included in that file. But I noticed that HomeSite can be
fooled and doesn't show all links.
