So? Just because you don't find books on how to do it doesn't mean it
can't be done.
For instance, it could also mean those other languages *need* those
chapters/books to teach people how to do things, and PHP doesn't.
I do a lot of sysadmin tasks, but have never needed a PHP book to help
me with them. Linux admin, yes. Php admin, no.
