php accounts for over 80% of web traffic according to multiple metrics sites. Many of the biggest and most popular sites to banks and everything else you can imagine are built on php. Hackability is a function of lazy programming or inexperience. Any language can be penetrated. They ALL have holes and flaws.

I think most common issue is SQL Injection or Session Hijacking. I don't know such information but hackers hack php website with standard bugs It only works if website don't use laravel framework . If any one know more information please to tell use

Answer 11

I don't know how large company like Facebook or WordPress protect their self but I know about normal websites like universities websites for example

Answer 12

SQL injection is really easy to take care of. It's called sanitizing your inputs. Not an issue unless you are careless or lazy. Session hijacking can't be fully stopped by ANY framework or language. If someone has enough information they can forge the identity. But you can make it very hard to do easily enough. There are XSS vulnerability settings you can turn on... changes in how you store a session.... https.... etc. Again... only lady or careless programmers don't do these things.
