Don't take this the wrong way Russ, but if you don't know PHP, how do you justify talking about it's feature set? Even more so, you then take that baseless and false feature set comment and use it to justify a comment about PHP's presence in the enterprise - something which you are clearly not at all acquainted with. It would be wise of you to consider your words before you make broad, unfounded, and completely false statements about something you admittedly do not know about. For the record, PHP does indeed have session management, and I know several "enterprise-level" companies who rely on it heavily.
