PHP wasn't good, fine maybe, though I understand it's better now.
it was kind of slow, and all the functions were inconsistent, and had a lot of foot-guns. It was easier to write more robust code and model-view-controller code in other languages. (not that it was impossible in php)
It’s hard to make the claim that PHP is a bad language and also claim that very similar complaints don’t also apply to Javascript. They’re both languages defined by their popularity in spite of how poor the language actually is.
