WHAT IS PHPSECINFO?

PHPSecInfo is a PHP environment security auditing tool modeled after the phpsecinfo() function. From a single function call, PHPSecInfo runs a series of tests on your PHP environment to identify potential security issues and offer suggestions. It can be useful as part of a multilayered security approach.

WHAT IS PHPSECINFO NOT?

It is not a replacement for secure coding practices
It does not audit PHP code
It is not comprehensive test for either your hosting environment or your web application
It is not the "final word." PHPSecInfo identifies potential problems and offers suggestions for improvement. Your environment may require certain settings that trigger cautions or warnings.

HOW DO I USE PHPSECINFO?

The simplest way:

Uncompress and upload the contents of the archive to your web server's document root
Open a browser and view the index.php file where you've uploaded the files (probably something like http://www.yourdomain.com/phpsecinfo/index.php)

WHAT DO I DO IF I GET A NOTICE OR WARNING?

Read the explanation of the result carefully. Research the issue on-line -- resources like the php.net official docs and the PHP Security Guide are very useful. Investigate why your environment is set up in such a way. If there's not a compelling reason to keep it as-is, you should probably

Books: http://phparch.com/pgps http://phpsecurity.org/ http://apachesecurity.net/

HOW CAN I CUSTOMIZE THE OUTPUT OF PHPSECINFO?

PHPSecInfo is intended to be used as a self-contained tool. However, you can obtain the test results in an array and then present this data in your preferred format.

Example: require_once('PhpSecInfo/PhpSecInfo.php'); // instantiate the class $psi = new PhpSecInfo();


// load and run all tests
$psi->loadAndRun();
// grab the results as a multidimensional array
$results = $psi->getResultsAsArray();
echo "
"; echo print_r($results, true); echo "
";
// grab the standard results output as a string
$html = $psi->getOutput();

// send it to the browser echo $html;
