I haven't done any PHP scripting for at least 6 years, but my beef was mostly with the community, not the language. If you do your best, you can write decent and clean code in PHP. But the community largely exists of people who don't have the slightest clue what they're doing and who are writing absolute garbage pieces of code. Usually when there's a data leak on a website, it's the result of insecure PHP scripts (again, the language has ways to prevent this, but the scripters just suck).
