Surely you realize that PHP is alone in having vast swaths of its common functionalitity disabled by hosts because of massive security problems arising in actual use?

This means PHP being crippled on many servers is PHP’s own fault.

Not necessarily. Popularity makes something more likely to be exploited. Compare PCs to Macs re: viruses. Also, many security issues were due to conventions in early versions of the language, e.g. register globals.
