fedora
Calendar Grey October 7, 2020
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Keep informed about Fedora's recent PHP 7.4.11 update that tackles essential bugs and enhances performance metrics.
**PHP version 7.4.11** (01 Oct 2020) **Core:** * Fixed bug php#79699 (PHP parses encoded cookie names so malicious `__Host-` cookies can be sent)

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.
