An international group of PHP experts get together to form the PHP Security Consortium (PHPSC), a group whose mission is to promote secure programming practices within the PHP community through education and exposition while maintaining high ethical standards.

According to Chris Shiflett, “As PHP has transitioned from personal projects to enterprise application development, the need to educate the community about secure programming practices has risen”. Chirs Shiflett is the founder of group.

The PHPSC web site ( http://phpsec.org) provides a variety of security resources for PHP developers, including the group’s flagship project, the PHP Security Guide.

Founded in January 2005, the PHP Security Consortium (PHPSC) is an international group of PHP experts dedicated to promoting secure programming practices within the PHP community. Members of the PHPSC seek to educate PHP developers about security through a variety of resources, including documentation, tools, and standards.

In addition to their educational efforts, the PHPSC engages in exploratory and experimental research in order to develop and promote standards of best practice for PHP application development.

PHP has been awarded the Programming Language of 2004, according to the

TIOBE Programming Community Index. This index uses information collected from the popular search engines, and are based on the world-wide availability of skilled engineers, courses and third party vendors.

From PHP.NET::::

PHP is a powerful and flexible tool. This power and flexibility comes from PHP being a very thin framework sitting on top of dozens of distinct 3rd-party libraries. Each of these libraries have their own unique input data characteristics. Data that may be safe to pass to one library may not be safe to pass to another.

A recent Web Worm known as NeverEverSanity exposed a mistake in the input validation in the popular phpBB message board application. Their highlighting code didn’t account for double-urlencoded input correctly. Without proper input validation of untrusted user data combined with any of the PHP calls that can execute code or write to the filesystem you create a potential security problem. Despite some confusion regarding the timing of some unrelated PHP security fixes and the NeverEverSanity worm, the worm didn’t actually have anything to do with a security problem in PHP.

PHP Security Note

HOSTWAY has launched PHP5 support on all their linux servers.

Since Last two months I am searching for local ( read Indian ) hosting service provider for PHP5 support. I need it to one of my site on PHP Certification .

My present service provider refused to upgrade or start a new server with PHP5. So I am unable to launch that site.

I think hostway is will be a good option. It is not Indian so some managerial issues like payment method etc. can be there.
