AboutThere are 1.8 billion websites on the internet today. Nearly 80% are powered by the PHP programming language. Freedom, privacy, security, and protection from totalitarianism are not possible if PHP is insecure. This project seeks to be the clearing house for the best ways of protecting PHP websites, apps, and the data they have. Thank you for reading. What Does PHP Security Mean?

It is not easy to produce a PHP application without security vulnerabilities. Most application security vulnerabilities apply to PHP applications just like other environments.
The goals of this project are to provide information about building, configuring, deploying, operating, and maintaining secure PHP applications
- PHP Security for Developers
- * This section covers dangerous calls and common vulnerabilities associated with them, such as system() exec(), eval() and so on. This section will also cover standard security mechanisms available in the standard language, such as cryptography, logging, encryption, and error handling. Securing elements of an application, such as controllers, business logic, and persistence layers will be covered. We'll discuss handling request parameters, encoding, injection, and more.
- * CONFIG
- * CODEBASE
- PHP Security for DevSecOps
- * How to secure a PHP application when running on the major cloud providers. How to secure a PHP application if all you've got is an unmanaged Linux server. Harden web server, harden database, and various network defenses such as WAFs, GeoIP, and DNSBL.
- * How to secure the development environment. Do you have control over the Source code repository? Are commits signed? How do you know which Docker Images to trust? Do you scan containers for vulnerabilities?
- * INFRASTRUCTURE
- * DEVELOPMENT
- PHP Security for Software Architects
- * Provides information about the design and architectural considerations for a PHP web application. Which frameworks to use, which frameworks are dead, and using the various FIGs.
- * ARCHITECTURE

Legacy Pages
The pages below are from 2005-2014 when this project was maintained by a different team. These pages have been kept so that no links are broken, and because there might be certain situations, particularly with extremely legacy apps, where their use might be appropriate. THere is great advice below, but be careful, there is also outdated advice as well.
