With the risk to repeat myself (and some other having said the same), the biggest advantage PHP has so far is that you get everything you may need with the default install.
This hasn't been true of the Windows distribution for the last few years. I think it should be - I think the default install under doze should offer the same as the default install everywhere else. Outside of any other considerations, think of all those poor PHP newbies testing out a default install locally and then howling that SQLite doesn't work. Most of the help forums will tell them they have it installed - but they don't. They have it *available*, which is not the same thing.
