This, That, and the Code

Why PHP Rocks

Of all the web languages I’ve had the pleasure, sik :|, to code in, PHP still feels right for most of the things I do.

For one thing, it doesn’t force me to do things in any one particular way.

If the problem space makes thinking in an Object Oriented way logical, then I do that. If it makes writing a library of functions the simplest solution, then I can do that too. PHP is only as complicated as the problem space requires.

Even PHP’s Object Oriented System is decent. With things like magic methods and the SPL, other than in syntax, it’s on par with any of Java’s non-enterprise solutions.

Hope someone agrees,
