    Suhosin?

    Hi guys,

    I am thinking about installing the Suhosin option for PHP on some shared servers to improve PHP's security. Are there any gotchas I would need to be aware of? I've checked out the Suhosin site but there is not much there at all.

    Thanks!

    I use Suhosin on my servers without any problems. The only thing I would suggest is adding the following lines to your php.ini afterwards.

    suhosin.post.max_vars = 2048
    suhosin.request.max_vars = 2048

    Using the default causes errors with vBulletin, SMF and possibly others.

    I actually wrote about this some time ago, and it is suggested you raise the values for those:

    So that is the only major gotcha with Suhosin?

    You will likely never see a difference. We've never experienced a single issue that was caused by Suhosin.
