The title of the article is funny:
"Is PHP The Cure For The 'Broken' Web?"
In my opinion PHP is the main reason why so many websites, apps and servers
are broken! The other reason is probably MySQL ;).
To paraphrase Rasmus: PHP "is completely broken in so many ways".
PHP makes "wrong things" easy, and "right things" hard.
Evidence: "addslashes", "register_globals" and "magic quotes".
More evidence: PHP Nuke, phpBB, PDO vs PEAR DB.
Taking his advice on software is like taking a coprophagist's advice on
fine dining.
