Yea, unfortunately. What a mess of a language. I recently had to
learn enough PHP to make some changes to a web site we had done by an
outside contractor. PHP feels like it was designed by taking a
half-dozen other languages, chopping them into bits and then pulling
random features/syntax/semantics at random from the various different
piles. Those bits where then stuck together with duct tape and bubble
gum and called PHP...
As one of the contractors who wrote some of the PHP said: "PHP is like
the worst parts of shell, Perl, and Java all combined into one
language!"
