And that in a nutshell is where I feel PHP's greatest weakness lies.

Its the language for the ill educated hacker to pretend (after learning
and mouthing the usual platitudes, a la Stuckle), that he can write good
code in it.

I don't push it too far myself: I tried, but ended up doing the grunt
work in C where I had proper control. PHP just does the presentation
layers. Its good enough for that.
