> PHP is nowhere near better than C

So you're arguing that PHP code is even less secure then C code? That was dmpk2k's point.

> PHP is used a LARGE majority of websites, blogs, and games

Because it's easy, not because it's good.

> there are no better equivalent atm for this use.

Sure there are. dmpk2k listed three of them. Is there some specific opposition you have to his suggested languages? We've hashed out our opposition to PHP in many previous threads, but have yet to hear solid reasons why Perl, Python and Ruby are inferior for web development.
