I'm skeptical that PHP is the "web's most popular programming language", and feel it serves no other purpose in the title than to be inflammatory. From the article: "Wikipedia says 75 percent of websites use PHP." From wikipedia: "PHP is used as the server-side programming language on 75% of all Web sites" However, that's not what its source says. From wikipedia's source[1]: "PHP is used by 78.1% of all the websites whose server-side programming language we know." And I'd be willing to bet that PHP (and the runner-up, ASP.net) are easy to identify considering the pages end with particular extension (which isn't the case with other technologies). The article gives no other proof save an unverified quote from Zend that states that PHP runs 35% of web requests. It even gives evidence to support the conclusion that PHP's popularity is declining.
