Essential security patches for PHP 7.2.16 tackling various vulnerabilities, such as memory leaks and unauthorized entry.
**PHP version 7.2.16** (07 Mar 2019) **Core:** * Fixed bug php#77589 (Core dump using parse_ini_string with numeric sections)

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.
