PHP is a bad language made infinitely worse by script kiddies who don't have a clue what they are doing.
I haven't looked back since moving to Ruby. That said if I was coding a commercial script like a tube script, I'd use PHP.

The good and bad thing at php you can do same thing with million of different ways-for example when i was looking for pagination snippet,my goal was to find example which have less lines then any other.After like 100 examples found,average number of lines was from 150 to 250,till i found example which have only 5 lines.And what is irony,examples which i used before with 150 to 250 lines was bugged while this one with 5 lines works perfectly.And this is why i stick with PHP- even if something right now is not made good,they will fix it in future and make it better.
