TGEA php.exe a security risk

The version of PHP shipped in TGEA is considered a security risk and should be updated to the latest version to fix the security risk.

That's because it is an older version of PHP that is exploited on web servers. However, running it to generate project files should be fine. You should also be fine updating the version of PHP. I do not think there are any major pieces that would cause problems.

Yeah updating it is fine, was just saying in case anybody does use it for anything more serious than generating project files.

Better safe than sorry :)
