In a recent post to his site Aidan Woods shares information (and code) related to the use of secure headers in PHP applications. He's even created a package to help make it easier to drop them into a new or existing project without too much trouble.

Recently I've been working on a drop in class to manage certain "Secure Headers" in PHP. By "Secure Headers", I'm of course talking about those mentioned in the OWASP Secure Headers Project. The project, SecureHeaders is available on GitHub.

He starts by covering why he created the library and what it can help you with including making things like a CSP policy easier to maintain. The article goes on to talk about the Content-Security-Policy header is and what kind of prevention it applies. He also shares how the package displays errors, modifies cookies to secure them (HTTPOnly and Secure flags) as well as provide a "safe mode" that "place an upper limit on things like HSTS and HPKP, and remove flags like includeSubDomains or preload until the header is manually added as a safe mode exception, or safe mode is disabled."
