PHP is a language that tends towards low-quality programming, writing bad code and creating hard to maintain software. PHP is a procedural language in concept and although it supports the paradigms of modern object-oriented programming, most PHP programmers write procedurally.

PHP is known as the language of "code monkeys" in the software engineering profession, because most PHP programmers write terrifyingly low-quality code. Because of the tendency to write low-quality, badly structured and badly organized programming code, the entire concept of the PHP language and platform is considered wrong and serious companies (like Microsoft, Google, SAP, Oracle and their partners) avoid it. Due to this reason, if you want to become a serious software engineer, start with C# or Java and avoid PHP (as much as possible).

Who OOP don help.?

It will interest you that most white papers in computer science today are directly criticizing OOP pattern.

Saying that it is actually a bad way of writing code. Functional programming seemed to be winning now.

Use what you feel suits you. Stop reading blogs.

@Op pls use what works well 4 u...PHP might not be for U sir but might be 4 others...

the post is too dull for my likening

I read the quote in a book and decided to throw it open, don't take it personal.

nothing personal beacause have heard that a million times. How PHP is bad. that is old PHP

It is very true.

That is my advice for any newbie programmer too.

C# or Java.

Programming has an art and science behind it. learning its basics and philosophy is paramount no matter the language. A lot of languages provide features which many programmers frown at and they don't consider it safe.

php was modeled after perl and c, two most flexible and hated languages (they are considered hard because of their flexibility). php maintained the flexibility of these two but made things a lot simpler for beginners.

Some languages may be considered good or bad depending on what the language allows or restricts based on the perspective of individual programmers but in reality programmers are the problem not the language. In simple terms, there are good programmers and bad programmers. A lot of people prefer garbage collection languages like java, c# etc to c because they don't want to be concerned with memory management.

Different stroke for different folks.

Php is bad, hen... But still one of the programming language that gives solid foundation of programming

I no know why php get haters like pmb, all I know is that in php I can in a hurry , write completely unorganised code and it will still run. I dont know why this beautiful ability of php is criticized, i think its the programmer that should be criticised for writing bad codes not php!. Imagine if u bought a cd player that accepts only original cds or a phone that accepts only certified apps. I know this might not be the best illustration but I will pick the one that plays both good and cracked cd any time

A programming language is just a tool. As a software developer, you may be asked to work with a particular tool (language) that you don't personally like, e.g., code refactoring, software maintenance e.t.c. ask any developer with years of experience, they v found themselves in situations where they had to work with a tool (language) that they don't personally like. Only a bad workman quarrels with his tool.
In fact, one of the common ways of spotting a rookie programmer or a programmer-wanna-be is that they r often pro-language. Real developers like challenges and usually look at software development from the programming concepts (e.g., OOP, Extreme Programming) ,design principles perspectives rather than language (tool) perspective.

PHP is bad but continues to grow in several frameworks and libraries. JavaScript is crap but continues to grow in vast amounts of libraries.
Moral: Learn what you "need" to do the job. No need falling in love or hating a language.

Sillyness

php give freedom to write code using any method and approach while python for example force their developers to used system design model that will boost code productivity and rested.
the differences is that python tend to hide most of the idea but php allow the programmer to construct any approach considered and in php programmers knows what is happening and how it is happening.
php is both object and procedural but you need to choose and what programmers fails to know is that bad programmer make bad code and good programmers make good code.

php is let you know the fundamental of how program work but not for lazy people and good php programmer should be able to craft a good algorithm, choose one of the system design model eg waterfall model before approaching any project.

php is not a crap programming language rather programmers make crap code while taking advantage of php freedom and out of the box paradym.

who told you that *****, I guess you dont do much big project coding that why you talking like that, i guess all you do is basic coding....
