The issue is that a large number of "PHP developers" never had any clue about how to program before they started playing with web pages. The next step was someone telling them, "Oh, PHP is really easy to use and learn; you should use that to add the current date to your home age, or to add a simple login wrapper/profile system for users." The next thing you know, it seems like 90% + of people writting code in PHP never learned how to program. Ug.
I learned to program off of PHP (oscommerce even), but I must say, after the basics of the language, I had to go to books to learn the real stuff. Existing code projects didn't cut it anymore. :) I bet most that pick it up learn just enough to make it do what they want.
