Many developers have learned to use PHP over the years because it’s a good solution for creat- ing Web pages and the price is right. The PHP acronym is like many other new acronyms for the Internet—the acronym is recursive (refers back to itself). PHP stands for PHP Hypertext Processor. This general-purpose HTML scripting language works much like ASP (see Chapter 6) or other page description languages you might have used. Essentially, you mix HTML with scripting information.

The health of databases is of critical importance to business managers, application owners and enterprise IT teams. The life of an organization is literally represented inside its database servers. Take away the ability to reliably run enterprise applications or complete customer transactions and you will watch the business come to a standstill. One quantifiable indicator of risk to the enterprise of business disruption, or leakage of confidential data, is the number of vulnerabilities that exist in the technical infrastructure. There is a correlation between the number of vulnerabilities and the number of undiscovered vulnerabilities as well as the risk to the enterprise of an exploit successfully launched against the vulnerable database. It is very clear that the more vulnerabilities that exist, the more likely it is that an attack will be successful.
