fedora
Calendar Grey July 27, 2018
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Strengthen your software defenses by implementing the PHP version 7.2.8 update that resolves memory issues and crucial vulnerabilities.
**PHP version 7.2.8** (19 Jul 2018) **Core:** * Fixed bug php#76534 (PHP hangs on 'illegal string offset on string references with an error handler)

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.
