If by shared hosting you mean multiple websites on one physical machine, well, it really depends on how things are set up. It is possible to run multiple instances of Linux on one computer and have each site running in a different one. So assuming that both CF and PHP can be deployed in a secure environment I would say that it's very easy to write insecure applications in both, shared hosting or otherwise. Neither is necessarily more secure than the other. I think most languages and platforms are going to have thier own set of security concerns. - Brad -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
