PHP's problem is it's soul. I will make an analogy about this. My analogy will be local, but i will explain it so you can understand. PHP is my university, Gazi University. It first established in 1926 as a Teacher Training Institute. Nobody knew that there will be a medical school or faculty of fine arts or even a faculty of dentistry. 1926 was the third of our newly established Republic and we needed teachers. So, Teacher Training Institute was born. Our main campus is very small. Law School or dentistry school is not in the campus. Because, as i said, nobody knew we need them in 1926. Ruby, C# and many other languages are METU: Middle East Technical University. METU was designed as a university. So, they got a gigantic land in Ankara (capital city of Turkey). They build all their building in there. Back to the PHP: PHP was born to solve one problem. Just one problem. When they got another problem, they solved it and added the function or implementation in the language. PHP is not designed at desk, it was not "feature-complete" at version 1.0. It's still getting more mature as version numbers increase. For example we get "traits" in 5.4. PHP is also Windows too (both Microsoft and PHP in a HN comment :) The most un-loved things in this community). Remember the video which a guy installs Windows 1.0 and successfully upgrade it to every version of windows with all his data and programs up to Windows 7? even doom from 1993 works! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPnehDhGa14 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPnehDhGa14) PHP is like Windows. I know the "parameter order inconsistency" problem too. But you can't solve it after this point of time. You just can't. Like windows, every program should work after the upgrade. There are millions of millions PHP sites. after a "apt-get update;apt-get upgrade" they should work. By the way, sorry for my bad english.
