Frequently asked questions.
What is php2shell?
A serious flaw in PHP, the language about 70% of websites run on.1 Since 21 October 2026 there is a fix in PHP 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36 and 8.2.35. Governments in the Netherlands, Germany, Finland, Belgium and France temporarily took websites offline.2
What does "Your site shields this" mean?
Your server doesn't show which PHP version it runs, or we couldn't read your site. That's fine in itself, but it means we can't see from the outside whether PHP has been updated. Book a call or fill in the form and we'll look at it together.
Is green a guarantee?
No. Green means the version your server shows contains the fix. It says nothing about an earlier break-in, other PHP versions on the same server, or the rest of your website.
