Flickr anyone ? php is pretty good at what it is supposed to be
doing. It never claimed to be a lisp, or even a C. So I am
curious to know what are the reasons for your statement ?

First : your point being ? Second : question was directed at KG's
statement. Please, if you feel you must answer a thread then write
something assuming that slow people like me can understand. Just
posting links without any explanation(s) does not mean anything.
anyway, i am not saying you cant write good secure code in mysql - but
you have to be a super hacker to do it ... and the vast majority of
coders are not super hackers, so for the good of manking they should
stick to safer languages
Firstly we were not talking about mysql - we were about php (I assume
its a typo). Assuming someone is not smart is not a good idea. So
statements like "good+php == oxymoron" are strong and inaccurate - they
dont include "dumb" people in the context of that statement and may be
misleading to the unsuspecting reader. People come here expecting some
"learned" advice, not empty rhetoric. So in case you do have a
point/opinion putting some explanation around such statements to clarify
the context might just help.
Secondly if we all stuck to "safe" languages, we would not have had such
a lot of software done in C. Or such a lot of software at all. Again
safety and security are relative to the purpose of use.
php is good for certain uses and definitely *not* "good+php == oxymoron".
