Another example of how PHP can be dangerous. Having to know the internal workings of variable acceptance to implement secure data checking seems to negate the value of having a higher-order programming language.

I dug this out for additional evidence of how PHP gives programmers too much rope to hang themselves, not unlike C.

I’ve been wondering lately if PHP is much like C from a security perspective in that the chances that if you are using PHP for an application that your application is secure depends on tribal knowledge about “what not to do” with the basic language. Another way to say this is that like C, PHP gives you plenty of rope to hang yourself if you don’t know what you are doing. Which is unfortunate for a language that should be safer by default for use by UI programmers.
