I like PHP. I also like what the did for the Open Source movement. It is free, with PHP>5.0 provided OOP support and has led the way all along. Without PHP there would have been no Drupal, Wordpress, Joomla, my early websites etc.. The dislike comes mostly from purists and language evangelists who think the language is what makes a good programme. I started programming ages ago. From Fortran, Cobol, Algol moved to Pascal (the greatest ever), went to C and the rest of them. PHP has a lot of heritage that I object like sometimes function names are either full name or c-like. I bypassed them by wrapping a couple of functions and presto!
