Despite it being 2012 and the PHP wars having been waged for years now, many people still continue to rail against PHP as a programming language. The complaints about it are numerous, and many of them are warranted to some extent: non-standard function names, exceptions to operator usage, and non-standard inheritance of ideas from other languages are just a few of the legitimate complaints that come out of the anti-PHP camp. Many of them, however, curiously seem to center around one core complaint: that it leads programmers to write “bad code”, either because of the reasons listed above or because of others.

PHP has some pretty serious design flaws, but as the article says it serves it's purpose very well. And if it acts as a "gateway language" to get people hooked on programming, then it's great! In a discussion with Rasmus at a meeting years ago he admitted frequently that he was isn't a programmer, PHP has flaws, and most importantly that he thinks it serves as a "glue" language to connect other technologies together. In this respect PHP works very well. It runs identically on multiple platforms and interfaces with other technologies quickly and easily. There's definitely a lot of value in that.

Where do these stupid posters come from MARS or Venus, Oh wait no, they are the ones slogging 24/7 for their illuminati masters. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ PHP language dont matter much but what matters is that there is no good RAD IDE for it, nor there is any Form designer, not a single one, so the QUESTION IS VERY VERY STUPID
