How to install suhosin on linux ?

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.


I have referred following steps to install it on the linux server :

=========
wget http://download.suhosin.org/suhosin-0.9.32.1.tar.gz
tar -xvzf suhosin-0.9.32.1.tar.gz
cd suhosin-0.9.32.
phpize
./configure
make
make install
echo "extension=suhosin.so" >> /usr/local/lib/php.ini
=========

Note : You can get latest version of suhosin from that above URL.

Advance setting in the php.ini file(Just add those in php.ini file and restart webserver) :
