PHP is, by no means, just as secure as any other language. It has a horrid security track record when compared to any other language.

RossM on March 20, 2011 [–]

While there are some features of PHP which are inherently a bad idea (register globals for example) these are, for the most part, deprecated and removed in the most up-to-date version.

I agree with other views that it is the programmer's code that is insecure, not the language itself.
