Lousy apps written in php may be common, but my Linux vendor doesn't update php on a frequent basis because of security bugs in the applications written in php. And if it's *that* difficult to write secure code in php, then that says something about the language too (like it's a suboptimal choice for security-cirtical web apps). One hasn't heard a lot about sendmail for the past few years, but I hear all the time about php. Was it "month of php bugs" lately?
