I am developing a small PHP app for a client who's host has advised them that they won't support PHP due to the major security risks of PHP. They will however support ASP. Anyone know about this?
Ask them which major security risks and which PHP version they are referring to. See if they can tell you anything more detailed than that blanket statement.
Then get your client moved to a *nix host - lots more security holes on Windows platforms.
"there are major threats in general every- and anywhere. To protect out valuable customers we decided not to offer this kind of service"
means nothing more or less than "We don't like it" or "We committed ourself to another product"
