The Builder.au website has a new video posted today concerning the state of the web as related by Rasmus Lerdorf (the "father of PHP").

Rasmus Lerdorf, the father of PHP, says that the Web is inherently broken and needs an overhaul to the entire infrastructure: browsers, servers and scripting languages.

Due to the nature of the Web being created very quickly, the consequences of bad decisions early on are being seen with almost all Web sites vulnerable to cross site-scripting (XSS).

Check out the video for more of his comments (you'll need Flash to view it).

They also have three other videos from Rasmus: Security on the Web, a Roadmap for PHP6 and Rasmus' retort to Rusty (Russell).
