Basically what I am getting at here is: Don't discredit a perfectly good language because of a bunch of asinine developers who don't even make up 1% of the community, let alone the professional ones.
All languages have their strengths and weaknesses. It's all about picking the best one for your project and going with it.
PHP, Python, Ruby, Lisp, Haskell, Java, JavaScript, or Brainfuck. The choice is yours. Make a smart decision.
For the record I am a professional PHP developer working on a multi-million dollar company who's whole technology is built on top of the latest standards and best practices of PHP. Our system handles hundreds of thousands of dollars a month in transactions without so much as a hiccup.
