*ANY* language implemented for *ANY* purpose is as secure as the programmer makes it. The way the original post is written, s/PHP/(Perl|ASP|C|bash|BASIC|four little buddhist monks fighting over an abacus)/ is applicable. The vulnerabilities that we see, that Gadi refers to, aren't widespread because PHP is widespread, but because insecure applications written in PHP are. A better use of energy would be focusing on the most vulnerable platforms and educating the developers.
But aparently they aren't educatable - hence they stick to this language. (Because of the many bad examples they can cut&paste
code from) T.
