use:
ereg() and verify EVERY input from your users make sure EVERYTHING is
compatible and work, can't bug down the server

use encryption and a database backend...

update your system with the latest changes every few minutes or so from
cron, running the php script that update as root.

That way no need to have apache running as root. Verify your customer's
identity ALL the time, beffore ANY modification.
