PHP is Insecure (and Other Enterprise Open-Source F.U.D.)

This article argues that PHP's reputation for being insecure is largely unfounded and stems from Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD) campaigns, its widespread use making it a common target, and its forgiving nature attracting novice developers who may write insecure code. It counters enterprise stereotypes by explaining historical context and comparing open-source security to proprietary models.
