Processing form data without nonce verification.
PHP file should prevent direct access. Add a check like: if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) exit;
Using cURL functions is highly discouraged. Use wp_remote_get() instead.
Global variables defined by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "$className".
Direct database call without caching detected. Consider using wp_cache_get() / wp_cache_set() or wp_cache_delete().
Detected usage of a possibly undefined superglobal array index: $_GET['page']. Check that the array index exists before using it.
$_REQUEST['display_name'] not unslashed before sanitization. Use wp_unslash() or similar
In footer ($in_footer) is not set explicitly wp_enqueue_script; It is recommended to load scripts in the footer. Please set this value to `true` to load it in the footer, or explicitly `false` if it should be loaded in the header.
Complex placeholders used for values in the query string in $wpdb->prepare() will NOT be quoted automagically. Found: %1$s.
Use placeholders and $wpdb->prepare(); found interpolated variable $table at "SHOW TABLES LIKE '$table'"
Accessing the database directly should be avoided. Please use the $wpdb object and associated functions instead. Found: \PDO.
Hook names invoked by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "phpmailer_init".
error_log() found. Debug code should not normally be used in production.
error_reporting() can lead to full path disclosure.
Processing form data without nonce verification.
wp_redirect() found. Using wp_safe_redirect(), along with the "allowed_redirect_hosts" filter if needed, can help avoid any chances of malicious redirects within code. It is also important to remember to call exit() after a redirect so that no other unwanted code is executed.
Detected usage of a non-sanitized input variable: $_REQUEST['s']

Unescaped parameter $table used in $wpdb->get_var()\n$table assigned unsafely at line 18.
