Suhosin Install Guide
Suhosin is an advanced protection system for PHP installations.
It was designed to protect servers and users from known and unknown flaws in PHP applications and the PHP core. Suhosin comes in two independent parts, that can be used separately or in combination.
The first part is a small patch against the PHP core, that implements a few low-level protections against bufferoverflows or format string vulnerabilities and the second part is a powerful PHP extension that implements all the other protections.
Installing the Extension

The next step is unpacking the extension tarball and performing the usual compilation steps for PHP extensions.
#> cd suhosin*
#> phpize
#> ./configure
#> make
#> make install
This should install suhosin in the correct extension directory. The final step is adding a load directive to php.ini
Now copy suhosin.so to /usr/lib/php/extensions which php.ini points to.
Checking PHP
Find where your current PHP.ini is and then add the suhosin.so extension to php.ini
Check your /var/log/messages for logs of Suhosin
