Introduction to PHP Security

Course description

This implementation-focused course dives into the core security skills needed for the PHP platform. It provides strategies and examples for previously insecure practices in PHP.

Learning objectives

Understand how web servers handle requests and hand them over to PHP interpreter
Recognize that there is no sandbox with PHP, and know how to tackle those implications
Use configuration files to control the PHP interpreter to effectively apply the most important security controls
Properly plan for users and the filesystem to prevent command execution
Recognize that the availability of dynamic code does not mean it can be used
Generate strong random numbers in different versions of PHP with CSPRNG and PRNG
Perform checks on $_FILES server-side and client-side
Achieve and describe the concept of plane separation with PDO and other drivers
Set up a project (i.e., code, not a server) capable of customized error handling without showing verbose error information to the user
