Reading all the comments about PHP throughout the years, I think it's about time that Slashdotters unite against PHP(and Microsoft and...add whatever it is that Slashdotters hate).
I think the functionality of the language is it's biggest enemy when it comes to security. If the language is simple enough like for instance you can only make programs that can print out "Hello world" then it can be considered very secure. It's maybe not very useful, but very secure. I know programmers who should never be allowed to program in anything but Java or C# and then only simple code.
