Meaning? header('P3P:CP="IDC DSP COR ADM DEVi TAIi PSA PSD IVAi IVDi CONi HIS OUR IND CNT"');

header, mysql, php

Solution

P3P is the Platform for Privacy Prefences Project. It is intended to make compact privacy policy statements.

You can break down this statement based off this resource:

- IDC: This is an Access descriptor. This grants access to identifiable contact information.

- DSP: This is a privacy policy token concerning dispute resolution.

- COR: Errors by your service will be remedied by your service.

- ADM: Information can be used for technical support, without consent

- DEVi: etc. etc. etc. (I'm not going to go through all of these.)

I don't know why any hacker would put that into a header, but be sure you revert the changes.

Problem

I often see this code below in posts. What does it mean and how can this hurt or help someone adding it on the header? ``` ob_start(); header('P3P:CP="IDC DSP COR ADM DEVi TAIi PSA PSD IVAi IVDi CONi HIS OUR IND CNT"'); ```
