Well this is patently false. You can find a significant difference in the vulnerabilities found with PHP interpreter and core libraries then you find with other languages.
It's not just that people program badly with it, it's a badly programmed language that sets users up to fail and even when they do program securely PHP itself is insecure.
Lets see how PHP compares....
PHP (348):

Python (17):

and also (20):

Perl (20):
http://www.cvedetails.com/vendor/1885/Perl.html http://www.cvedetails.com/vendor/1885/Perl.html
Ruby (42):

And so on and so forth. The only thing that rivals it is Java.
