I think we can agree the statement makes the implied assumption you still do have a reason to run PHP. It doesn't matter what application needs PHP, as long as it's an application needing PHP. Delivering a static webpage is not a reason to run PHP, that's webserver biz. I mean, c'mon, it's bug in the PHP backend, not the OS where the string "PHP" magically causes memory corruption. Something needs to be processes by PHP.
