PHP is pretty secure, But like any software, You need to keep it up to date,
And don¹t ever turn on register globules. Also, It is not php that is so
insecure, You as a admin can really tighten down how your server functions,
For example, php needs to be run as the www user, If you want to be sure
that the www user does not have write privileges to any of the folders, What
you do is make your ftp user write the files as a different user not the www
user. That is just one example. This help prevent cross site scripting, CGI
is way more insecure than php be default, But then again, it depends on how
you have he server configured. I would recommend PHP over chi any day, One
big plus is the cpu usage, cgi is very processor intensive so is java, php
uses very little cpu in most cases. I run over 8,000 php sites, over 4,000
on one xserver G5.
