Many moons ago, at the tender age of 14, Cal touched his first computer. (We're using the term "computer" loosely here, it was a TRS-80 Model 1) Since then his life has never been the same. He graduated from TRS-80s to Commodores and eventually to IBM PC's. For the past 10 years Cal has worked with PHP and MySQL on Linux OSX, and when necessary, Windows. He has built on a variety of projects ranging in size from simple web pages to multi-million dollar web applications. When not banging his head on his monitor, attempting a blood sacrifice to get a particular piece of code working, he enjoys building and managing development teams using his widely imitated but never patented management style of "management by wandering around". Cal is currently based in Nashville, TN and is gainfully unemployed as the Chief Marketing Officer of Blue Parabola, LLC. Cal is happily married to wife 1.28, the lovely and talented Kathy. Together they have 2 kids who were both bright enough not to pursue a career in IT. Cal blogs at http://blog.calevans.com and is the founder and host of Day Camp 4 Developers

Good episode. Do you have an idea of what days a week this will fall on?

A new episode should release every Tuesday and every Thursday. The release time will vary based on what timezone you are in. (and what timezone I am in on that day)

It would be great if we had an RSS feed JUST for the podcast so we could subscribe to it in our itunes. Otherwise no one will bother constantly checking the normal feed to see if there are any podcasts then manually syncing them with their iPod!

One important Host header hack that was left out:
A hacker can make the Host header whatever they want by creating an alias in /etc/hosts (windowssystem32driversetchosts), and navigating to your website using that alias.
It definitely works on IIS, I’m not sure about Apache.

Now that’s what I call a Jazzy intro!

The URL (http://devzone.zend.com/article/2092-PHP-Abstract-Episode-1—PHP-Secuity-Tips) appears to be for just this first episode. That’s fine, but not one that people would bookmark. Is there a Web page for all of the shows, perhaps showing the latest one and, eventually, an archive of the older ones? If so, could you please post its URL. Thanks!

Great starting podcast; nice pace and interesting content. I think it could have done with being a bit longer because I’m sure there were other things to cover, but perhaps later in the series we’ll see a continuation or revisit.
The unfortunate thing was although the security areas were highlighted, there was no hint of how to actually fix these issues that I’m sure more than one listener may have in their site(s).
Thanks though, I’ve subscribed to the feed so I’ll be listening next time
