You can be an idiot in any language, including PHP. Blaming the tool is exactly what gets you in to this mess in the first place.

The fault is with the programmer. No one else.

It's true that you can be an idiot in any language, but I have written production code in every 'high level' language of this type and only PHP seems to suffer from this problem. Take a random mail form, even has its own domain: http://jemsmailform.com/

Finding the obvious problems I leave as an exercise.

I kindly direct you to search for "formmail.pl".
