Executive Summary
This document provides Queen's community especially PHP developers on campus with a secure development standard for PHP taken from industry best practices.
The primary goal of this document is to provide step by step instructions for PHP developers in order to enable understanding and guidance to develop secure applications through the development process.
It is recommended that readers of this document be familiar with PHP 5.2 or above and have a general familiarity with the technologies involved, such as webservers.
A special thank you to the Security Community of Practice: PHP Security Standards Group who takes full credit for establishing and compiling this standard to provide to the Queen's community.
