I saw a copy of this last week, I like a few of the features it has, but the coding is awful, (lacks good logic). That's just my opinion, plus I saw some scripting holes that could cause some problems on a server. I won't say what they are but they are there!

There another one (script) called I-Rater that is just as bad, I would not recommend them to anyone! That's why I always recommend that anyone buying a script higher a consultant that can advise them of the security of the script that you will place on their server!

At a recent PHP workshop this was discussed in great detail. Because PHP is so easy to learn you have more people drawn to it. Many do not take the time to learn anything more than how to do something they need done! This can be very dangerous for someone wanting to do something that relies on a script that they get from somewhere like Hot Script or even here. You don't know how well the script is because you did not code it, and the person who did code it might have just hacked it from another badly coded script!

We have been doing a study comparing open source PHP scripts to open source Perl scripts and so far 72% closed service type scripts found on the Internet coded in PHP have security flaws as compared 36% with Perl.

Why is this, because Perl is harder to learn and do things with, so it keeps many of the script kiddies away! Which results in less badly coded Perl scripts showing up on the Internet! There are other reasons to, but this is one of the biggest. The study findings will be released in early May at a PHP workshop!
