TLDR; op blames awfull books that spread bad practices and then made PHP code ugly and insecure.
I personally don't care about PHP.
Now the PHP community is kinda funny.
Basically there are the people that use PHP as poor man's java, that feel the need to write 50 design patterns per file, who hates the other part of the community, the one that couldn't care less about "software engineering best practices".
So it's not much that people hate PHP, more like PHP developpers hate other PHP developers because they feel the need to be labelled as "good" PHP developpers, unlike the "bad" ones.
- noir_lord 12y agoThere is a third group. The ignores the "design pattern madness" and the "beginners" and just uses PHP as a programming language to do software development in. It's just another language to me and I treat it as such.
- EugeneOZ 12y agoIf you can say "write 50 design patterns per file" then you don't know what design patterns are.
- chupy 12y agoI think that was exaggeration to make a point and also for the sake of comedy.
