That is a bunch of crap. Product of the same propaganda machine that
cranks out false stories about OS X. PHP is a programming language.
Just like any other programming language, if you don't code securely
you don't get a secure application.

percentage the total, the problems with PHP underscore the difficulty
that developers--many of them amateurs--have in locking down
applications written in the language, said Peter Mell, senior
computer scientist for the NIST and the program manager for the
