PHP Authentication: Implementing Access Token
After successfully setting up our project, you'll observe that certain packages come pre-installed. One of these packages is vlucas/phpdotenv. This package serves the purpose of facilitating the loading of .env variables within your projects. These variables, stored in a file named '.env', allow for the configuration of various settings without hardcoding them directly into your code. Instead, you can define environment-specific variables such as database credentials, API keys, or any other sensitive information in the .env file, providing a more flexible and secure approach to configuration management.

Question Regarding Environment Variables
Recently, I jumped to reading on the documentation of the function putenv() and define() and the array $_ENV to understand the different between all. Also, I looked at the library phpdotenv and how it handles environment variables since its the standard approach to go with when dealing with environment variables in PHP.

Is it possible to store sensitive data on a shared hosting's DB?
So to get down to it, what are some of the best practices here? First off, things that you would normally do, like utilize some sort of secrets manager, that won't be available to you. You also can't utilize environment variables with apache. So you're going to have to have some sort of local secret (password/passphrase) to perform the encryption/decryption. With that said, mysql does provide AES encryption with their AES_ENCRYPT/AES_DECRYPT calls, so in that manner, yes you can safely store PII or other values in a shared MySQL. You can use a php library like https://github.com/vlucas/phpdotenv The decryption password(s) should be in the .ENV file Nothing prevents you from utilizing some scheme perhaps to provide multiple passwords if you want to, perhaps a separate one for each individual column you plan to encrypt.

How to forward ports via VPS & VPN
So in the end, for those interested with the same issue (How to forward ports behind the Starlink CGNAT), all the VPN providers I tried were bad (the IP they allow to open weren't working well, or they only provide dynamic IPs), so in the end I : 1/ bought a small router on Amazon, the GL-MT1300 (by GL-iNet) but their smaller routers should work too: https://www.amazon.fr/GL-iNet-GL-MT1300-Wireless-Pocket-Sized-Repeater/dp/B08MKZXGBY?ref\_=ast\_sto\_dp 2/ installed AstroRelay on it (followed this tutorial : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3RkMeO4kDg ): https://astrorelay.com And that's it, all my local services work like a charm and are accessible outside. I didn't have to roll up my sleeve to setup a VPS or to setup reverse SSH tunnel. As an alternative to AstroRelay I could have used these services but they seemed a bit more complex to install or use: - https://ngrok.com/ - https://expose.dev/ - https://localxpose.io/ - https://tunnelto.dev/ - https://www.zerotier.com/
