PHP Updates: Hardened PHP

May 17, 2004 • By Erik Kangas • In New Feature Announcements

LuxSci has updated the version of PHP supported by its web hosting servers to v4.3.6 and now includes “GD” support in PHP. LuxSci’s installation of PHP is now also “hardened” for security reasons. See http://www.hardened-php.net. Hardened-PHP adds security hardening features to PHP to protect the servers on the one hand against a number of well known problems in hastily written PHP scripts and on the other hand against potential unknown vulnerabilities within the PHP engine itself.
