Of many people who use PHP not many have strong programming background and even fewer experience with security. The use PHP because it makes it easy to solve problems, especially in a web environment. When you consider this it is hardly surprising that many people write bad and/or insecure code. While PHP does try to make things better, and occasionally has bugs in the language core you need to realize that PHP is a programming language. As such if you really want to shoot yourself in the foot you can, just as you can do with C/C++/Perl/Python/etc... Ilia Alshanetsky
