      <description><![CDATA[With another response to <a href="http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2006/02/17/PHP">the comments</a> that <i>Tim Bray</i> made about PHP, <i>Jonas Maurus</i> has posted some of <a href="http://maurus.net/work/php-sucks/">his opinions</a> as to why PHP sucks.
<p>
<i>Jonas</i> looks first at the comments that <i>Tim</i> made, looking that the "reasons to like PHP" first (two items, according to <i>Tim</i>'s opinions) and then goes on to list six other reasons as to why PHP sucks.
<p>
Included in those reasons are things like:
<ul>
<li>There are 3 incompatible versions of PHP
<li>(string)"false" == (int)0 is true
<li>PHP isn't thread-safe
<li>The quality of PHP's compiled-in libraries differs widely
</ul>
<p>
He does <a href="http://maurus.net/work/php-sucks/">note</a>, though, that of the dynamically-typed langauges out there, PHP is the most approachable. He mentions some instances where he believes it's okay to use PHP too - along the lines of the "right tool for the job".]]></description>
