What I Don’t Like About PHP

7 November 2006, 6:07 PM CET +0100

A list of things I don’t like about PHP:

  • Inconsistent parameter placement
  • Inconsistent naming (with a variety of using _ as separators, and not using separators at all)
  • No really good command line tool — I know PHP is aimed at the web, but being able to try out simple things in Python and Ruby is really one of the things I like about those languages

Some day I might expand on this list. I might also explain some of the items in greater detail.
