Hi all My wife has been doing the "Xmas Manager" bit for both our families again this year ( We all are supposed to supply each other with lists, then liaise with each other (but not the recipient) to sort out presents). I thought of a Lug Xmas List manager! Data base driven I could possibly manage crude php but I know how it's frowned on for external security so some other Nix based coded front end,
Why do you think PHP is frowned upon for security, external or otherwise?The bad press PHP appears to get is mostly because it's easily accessible, therefore adopted by the masses ... who don't know how to write defensive programs...
PHP is as secure as you care to program it in. You can create gaping wide open security holes in any language you care to use, if you don't use it sensibly.
