Yes, security by obscurity is always debated, but this doesn't mean it has no place in a
security policy. The measures described in this chapter - when combined with solid peer code review,
both of PHP itself and of your script - go a long way towards making script kiddies unhappy. One
more thing one should add is setting "expose_php" to "off" (and generally, using
Apache's ServerTokens to reveal as little about the system as possible).
