I have to disagree here. Languages are neither secure nor insecure.
Programs are, though.

I think it's more because there are too many people like TNP who call
themselves "programmers" but have no business being near a computer.
PHP is a relatively easy language to learn, but like any language, you
have to know what you're doing to write secure code. Too many people
stop learning before they get to that point.

That's a great part of what quality control and testing is about - not
only feeding the code good input to ensure it responds correctly, but
also feeding it bad input to ensure the code rejects it properly.

But way too many people only check responses to "good" data, and don't
ensure "bad" data is properly rejected. The result is things like SQL
injection and other security issues.
