Essential php patch released fixes multiple vulnerabilities and problems in Fedora 26, enhancing reliability and protection. Update immediately!
**PHP version 7.1.15** (01 Mar 2018) **Apache2Handler:** * Fixed bug php#75882 (a simple way for segfaults in threadsafe php just with configuration)

Summary

PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. PHP attempts to make it

easy for developers to write dynamically generated web pages. PHP also

offers built-in database integration for several commercial and

non-commercial database management systems, so writing a

database-enabled webpage with PHP is fairly simple. The most common

use of PHP coding is probably as a replacement for CGI scripts.

The php package contains the module (often referred to as mod_php)

which adds support for the PHP language to Apache HTTP Server.
