Well it seems to be very fashionable to bash PHP these days, but you know what? It works, and it works well. It scales well, some of the webs largest sites are programmed in PHP, it's free, it has loads of libraries, it's mature, you can always find help and free code on the net, and PHP.net has the best documentation I've seen for a programming language. Sure there are issues with it, just like there are issues with everything else. But I can't help noticing that people who program in PHP tend to just get things done instead of complaining about how they can't get anything done in a language that doesn't even have semi-enclosed nomads with closured scaffolding on the IO stack.
