That's because you're stuck writing crap code in crap libraries. Really, you judge PHP off of Wordpress and Joomla?

- jasonlotito 13y agoEver notice how everyone who complains about PHP are usually complaining about WordPress, Joomla, or other such apps?
- sergiosgc 13y agoBecause these apps exist. WordPress, for example, is unparalleled in other language domains. What is the WordPress of Ruby? And in python? Is it Django? Where's the plug-in directory for Django, equivalent to [1]? I work with WP, I'm the first to recognize it's an old codebase with all defects this entails, but popularity has value. Value that PHP critics dismiss too lightly. [1] http://wordpress.org/plugins/ http://wordpress.org/plugins/
- jasonlotito 13y agoI'm not dismissing WordPress's value. Rather, I'm dismissing those that dismiss PHP out-of-hand and their lists of reasons include WordPress.
- badclient 13y agoExactly. He's comparing php to a framework. PHP isn't a framework. If he tried to write code in python or ruby without a framework or template engine, he'd have the same complaint. If he tried php with a framework or template system, he'd realize its not all that different. I just rewrote a Django app in php with very tiny modifications to the templates thanks to codeigniter and smarty.
- pearjuice 13y ago>CodeIgniter Abandon ship immediately.
- Gigablah 13y agoCodeIgniter is still okay. Smarty, on the other hand...
- pearjuice 13y agoStill okay? Sure, if you like frameworks with no future at all, hacked together architecture, legacy PHP 4 code nested so deep there should be a total rewrite to remove all of it and a community which is as kindergarten as it gets.
