PHP Security

December 9, 2004

Should system admins leave PHP web server security to the programmers alone?

That's a bad idea. Sysadmins have full control over the httpd.conf and the php.ini files. Any PHP functions, classes, file extensions, execution access, etc., that he/she feels unsafe may be disabled quite easily.

Book Recommendation:

Ruby Programming for Medicine and Biology provides programmers an introduction to how the Ruby programming language works with modern biological research. It has a basic intro to Ruby, and then follows with discussions of about 100 Ruby scripts, covering the most common computational tasks in the field of biomedicine. You will learn how the scripts work, and how they might be implemented in real-world situations. This is a must-have if you work with Ruby in the bioinformatics and computational genomics fields.

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.
