Don't blame the language. Among other things, I'm a Zend certified PHP developer, and the ubiquitousness off the LAMP stack means I can write code and expect it to run almost anywhere with minimal fuss. I can run a high performance Development environment on my Netbook, try doing that with Weblogic... PHP had a shitty start, but obviously there was a need for it at the time, or it wouldn't have taken off the way it did and become so pervasive. These days its a grown-up language with grown-up features, many of which you can choose to not use.
Seems like its fashionable to rag on PHP for allowing non-programmers to write code. Why can't we go back to hating Perl for being a write-only language?
