Ask here and you'll hear: no.
Ask in a Java group and you'll hear: yes.
Ask in a asp.net group and you'll hear: definitely!

About every argument this group can give you why PHP is a good choice
you'll get for the alternatives in their respective groups, and for those
they can't counter they'll have several other arguments 'we' can't argue
with.

Opinion articles pro and con each also exist in about equal amounts I'd
guess.

In the end it's just a choice you or your customer/employer will have to
make. Select the information sources that support your own preference if
you have to convince someone else.

The fact I'd choose PHP over Java and ASP.net every day and twice on
Sundays isn't likely gonna help you much I am afraid.
