Default Re: Security in PHP

When on a shared host, security simply isn't going to be as strong as when on a dedicated host. This is one of the tradeoffs for the inexpensive fee.

One particularly vulnerable aspect of shared hosting is having a shared session store. By default, PHP stores session data in /tmp, and this is true for everyone. You will find that most people stick with the default behavior for many things, and sessions are no exception.
