Along these lines (following up here, though it's mostly to the OP),
you may also want to look at your php.ini for some hardening as well.
The default php.ini ships with allow_url_fopen enabled, which tells
php to treat remote files like they're local. In some cases this is
needed, but I really consider it a huge security hole, and if
disabling doesn't break your website, I would suggest you do so.
