Guys. One of my web sites uses HTML forms which post via PHP so customers to contact the sales team. I'm trying to determine which might be better for security. PHP or CGI. ?

  Hello :) Are you referring to the scripting language itself or the PHP handler enabled on your server? If it's just the language, then it really depends on how it's coded. Thank you.

  Was referring to the scripts to be honest. I have a few html contact type forms where a customer fills his details and hits send. This posts the email to us to act upon. I was trying to determine if cgi was maybe more secure than php. But if it comes down to how the script is written, then i guess it doesn't matter ??

  Short answer - PHP if you know PHP. CGI - if you know perl/CGI-scripting. Question itself is quite general - any technology can be compromised and any technology can be used. ;)
