PHP Security Tip #1
Looking for the security silver bullet? I’ve got bad news for you, there isn’t one. Security take an ongoing effort and a lot of little things instead of one big one. This month we are kicking off a new feature on DevZone, “Security Tip of the Week”. To kick this off right we will post one a day during March. Some of these tips will be specific things you can do, some will be general concepts you need to be aware of, all of them will be brief. So without further comment, here’s the first “Security Tip of the Week”.
Keep your PHP version up-to-date.
As with any other language, vulnerabilities will be discovered. Running the most recent PHP version, and knowing about its improvements will help keep your application secure, efficient, and stable.
The current version of PHP can always be found here.
If you have a security tip you would like to share, register with DevZone and click the Contribute like in the upper right corner. We are a community, let’s make security a community effort.
