If at all possible for your site add Suhosin to your PHP install. 
That'll help stop all sorts of bad stuff targeted directly at or through 
PHP.

If you've got a shell with root access you can probably find a 
ready-made package to install. Otherwise you'll have to download it and 
compile it yourself. Not a big deal, but more work.
