PHP is a high level scripting language no different from any other. You
could set up MS basic to do the same job.

Personally I'd say its backward method of defining global variable scope
on its own causes enough extra typing to make me want to look elsewhere.

PHP provides no special fuctions no special security no special features
that dont exist in any other scripting language ever invented.

It's an ok scripting language and thats about it.

If you are writing serious "applications" it shouldn't even be
considered.
