Instead of writing spin, just provide me with some examples of why PHP is insecure...
Sure you have said compiled languages are more secure, but your reasoning for that was in case someone managed to get access to the server - which was a bit of a lame argument because someone looking at your source is the least of your troubles when they have control over your server. So to twarte that there are things like Zend guard, or roadsend, which make the source so it is not human readable.
If you think PHP isn't secure, just explain why?
I feel you are making the mistake of comparing the language to applications previously written for it. Just because some n00b writes a pos like PHP Nuke really badly, and people hack it, does not mean PHP isn't secure.
There are plenty of multi-million pound companies, who operate soley online, making use of PHP for their ecommerce websites. If PHP is in secure, why is it so popular for such applications?
