I've seen some disgusting rhetoric from some holier than thou IT people this morning on the #php security issue. None of who actually know what the problem is!
Comments like "swap to an alternative" are NOT helpful. Because moving everything to a different platform is so easy for everyone!
PHP is a good and accessible language that still runs a large chunk of the internet. Still pays my bills.
I can't remember the last major PHP security issue. Must have been at least 10 years now.
