Hi,
does anyone know why setuid wrapper not being present releases security holes in PHP scripts. I had
read this somewhere :
\"Accessing databases through PHP is currently not recommended, as it would imply exposing your
password to the world due to the lack of setuid wrapper (until PHP can be mode 700 of
course).\"
and can someone also explain what it really is ?
thanks.
