I am getting the idea that some of you have not read my posting carefully
enough, have therefore misunderstood it, and that some of you have not read
the referred article at all. To clarify: It is neither me nor the author of
the article that has said misconceptions. So there really is no point in
arguing that blog entries would be unreliable. In fact, the author explains
*why* the listed statements are misconceptions about PHP, and I had found
his reasoning rather logical.

I wanted to inform about this article, as I had found it enlightening.
I did not know that there are actually people hating PHP for various
(dubious) reasons. I hoped for a serious discussion about the arguments of
the author, maybe the comments that followed, and other wrong ideas about
PHP that could be clarified; really not a confirmation of what was written.

the best source of advice on designing systems that use javascript.
