In the early 2000s, everyone in my bubble knew that PHP was a security nightmare, only seconded by Flash. In the meantime, Adobe gave up on Flash, but PHP is still alive and rocking.

How did that happen? Did PHP get some serious makeover? Do developers just not care?

    Never used PHP, but wasn’t there a bunch of issues around the admin page being accessible?

      PHP itself doesn’t have one, it does have a debug command phpinfo() which might print sensitive information. But that’s on the programmer if they called that on a publically available page. Could also be that you meant phpMyAdmin, which is a MySQL webclient built in PHP, not an admin page for PHP itself.
