Yes--you do not know what someone might be putting.

Explained: if someone controls what is being scripted,
such as news information, then that information is
insecure in general.  The page that contains the
viewer end of the PHP, then WHO KNOWS WHAT IT COULD
BE.

Therefore, the owner/ or user/ of the PHP-script does
not know what he is getting into. 

What is going to be of this in the future? I THINK
MORE PEOPLE SHOULD WORK ON THE INTERNET. FOR
EXAMPLE-->where do you get your news?
