It did make total sense at the time. Consider we are talking a time where you had static html.
It is obviously good to be able to automate generating web pages based on say the state of a database. As this gives you up-to-date pages without someone having to manually build them.
And if that - automatically build web-pages from a database - is your goal and your current state of the art is static pages, then creating a language you can interject into your static pages, to build the page dynamically is a no brainer.
- rezonant 3y agoIn defense of the PHP community, things like Symfony attempt to create some sanity when it comes to separation of concerns. Unfortunately, when people talk about PHP they inevitably talk about raw, framework less PHP and act like it's as sensible as something structured and disciplined like Ruby on Rails or ASP.NET MVC.
