The big problem here is too many "overnight learn to code in 24 hours" developers choose PHP to develop by "cut & shut approach" using code they acquired online from a dingy website. This yields insecure implementations. And the cycle begins over and over. Better languages have a far superior way to implement code following standard industry practices & conventions. For example, how many ways are there to get the length of a string in PHP vs say Python? When there are too many ways to do some basic manipulations you start getting many different code implementations doing the same thing. Also how many Built-in Functions are included in PHP vs other languages? Too many is the answer. Shall we even touch up on Unicode support? lol..
