If I might ask, what kind of website are you going for? Pertaining to the
security aspect, are you on your own server? If so, check out Suhosin from
hardened-php.net. Absolutely invaluable. Source code security isn't even
really *that* important (that's not to say it *isn't* important, mind you.)
if you have Suhosin setup correctly.
