== is useless. It’s not transitive. “foo” == TRUE…

Yeah, I’m well aware of that article that you mention.

While generally I would agree with you that PHP is a whacky language at times, I’ve used it for a good 10 years and it always boils down to a few things personally for me. I’m extremely comfortable with it, I’m able to rapidly prototype, and there’s a huge community.

I guess you could say PHP is my weapon of choice to get the job done. I think like with anything, there needs to be a good attack plan on how to execute a well thought out application which to me means (if choosing PHP) selecting a good framework (CodeIgniter, FuelPHP, Laravel), a database (MySQL, Mongo), server (Apache, Lighttpd, Nginx) and a well thought out roadmap for the future. I also like a lot of the developments that Facebook has done with HipHop VM [url=http://www.hiphop-php.com/blog]http://www.hiphop-php.com/blog.[/url]

I do however, respect your opinion. Thanks for your input.
