Exactly... I hear so many people saying PHP is horrible for sites/apps that are big and serious, yet when I mention Facebook or Yahoo! Answers, they go quiet... What real time examples aren't good enough? Way to many people jump on the "PHP

Well said. PHP gets a lot of crap thrown at it, but in the end, one of the biggest companies and second biggest website on the internet uses it as it's primary language.. If it's good enough for them, it's good enough for any of us to use.
