    A Open Source Code Site

    Hello,

    The Site will be based on tutorials where a user can learn how to build a particular Framework in PHP.
    And i need some help on how i could possibly keep the site secure from potential threats.

    EG/ Checking the scripts for requests from outside sites

    That depends on what system you use to build your site. If you stick with a standard CMS such as Drupal it will be much easier than coding your own site, and checking for vulnerabilities, etc. You will still have to examine the log files and check your system for remote exploits, but at least by using a standard system you will have the most common issues covered.

    i will be using my own script, Its generally a basic login system with some security added by modules.

    All i really was asking is, a filter, how could i come across building one that would work well and quick?

    Re: A Open Source Code Site

    What, exactly, do you want to do on your site? Do you want users to upload their own code and run it on the site, or only store code on the site? If the former, my advice is don't. Only someone extremely knowledgable about security issues and platforms should even begin to think about attempting this. You'd need to run the code in a virtual, sandboxed environment. It's no simple task. Also, your account will likely be terminated by an admin for giving arbitrary users that level of access. There have been too many security problems in the past.
    Be sure to read all pages linked in this post; they have further information that should prove useful. When asking for help, make sure you follow Eric Raymond's and Jon Skeet's guidelines for prompt, accurate responses. Please answer any questions I ask; they're not rhetorical (probably). Any posted code is intended as illustrative example, rather than a solution to your problem to be copied without alteration. Study it to learn how to write your own solution.
    Misson, not Mission.

    The code would be stored on the site not run.
    So an example on how to build a site / tutorial.
