Not to pick on anyone in particular, but the number of people saying "all I know is PHP and I've no actual training in computer science, but go ahead and trust your sever to my guesses" is one reason PHP a) has a reputation as a language people write bad software in and b) caters to non-programmers.
It's awesome when people learn a bit of PHP so they can solve simple problems for themselves. It's bad when those people pretend to be qualified software engineers and sell really crappy software for complex systems to others.
