but others don't. They take a personal and opposite view.

PHP CAN be used for other things. But most of us were dong other things
perfectly well before we discovered PHP and for us PHP only has one
advantage: its widely supported as a web scripting language.

And its HUGE advantage over - say C - is the ability to slip in and out
of pure HTML with a ?> <? statement.

Apart from that its relatively crap.

IIRC C++ has some similar features as has PERL.

But the support for other handy stuff is not as good.

*shrug*.

in teh end its a minir detail tha wins te day.

C has the best interface to the operating system, PHP has the best user
interface to HTML and if I was writing a native app for linux I'd
probably use C++ as the interface to x windwows is easier that way.

as far as scripts go, well its a totally undemanding application. Any
crud will work. Even PERL.

(in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) – a system of government where the least capable to
lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the
members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are
rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a
diminishing number of producers.
