I added collabtive written in php which is a relatively new web based project management tool. I think it looks quite promising, but still has a few things to work out. martin-marcher — about 1 month ago tags: PHP,Collabtive

tweaking my php code to make better use of ffmpeg and using subversion to make sure I have the newest version of ffmpeg jhalls — 5 months ago tags: PHP,FFmpeg,Subversion,FFmpeg
PHP was a very easy first language to learn do to it having a strong community behind it and a technically no cost setup. PHP tutorials, open source code, books, etc are everywhere. And I must say that PHP has somewhat proven itself by being used by such a heavy website like Facebook (although PHP is not the only language in this case). But all together I am thoroughly impressed jhalls — 5 months ago tags: PHP

Great for small scripts, failed to grow up
by dfoerster
PHP is perfectly suited for small web development tasks, like to add some dynamic content to static pages without much overhead or setup.
The language is easy to learn and to handle, and can also be used to create command line scripts. (Instead of the more complicated Perl for example.)
However, PHP's history, evolving from a macro processor is still visible. While it supports OOP, the core of the language is not object oriented

Good for powering content
by Ross Masters
PHP was my introduction to programming and I feel it is a good language for first-timers to learn. It needs understanding of HTML, which is an excellent starting point for any new programmer.
I agree with Rasmus's view that PHP is essentially a templating language as at it's most basic it generates HTML output. Unfortunately it's grown up as a spiderweb of libraries which has earned it a lot of criticism but these libraries are of good
