God, these comments are awful
[edit]Which is not to say I don't agree with the "PHP is garbage" comments. I just also agree with the "seriously, we read all of this the last three thousand times PHP articles were posted, please shut up" snark.[/edit]
PHP has a reputation as a language that makes dead easy to write very ugly sphagetti code. As far as I learned a lot has chaned since last time I was using PHP - something like 5 years ago. Is there any good book or other resource which describes modern PHP with best practices, parts to avoid, etc?
I believe that programmers ability to write poor code is quite language agnostic.
Friendly reminder that we can't have anything involving PHP without: * complaints about features it has or has not * a reference to that "a fractal of bad design" article * how language x is better * sarcastic, ironic or post-ironic notes about the above * one guy pointing out we can't have anything involving PHP without the above

1. PHP supports goto since version 5.3.0; people speculated that term "troll driven development" in announcement was not a joke.
2. $ variable prefix in Perl was a joke about Hungarian notation and first BASIC dialects. PHP take that joke seriously.

Of the few things PHP should be great at, parsing and generating html markup is close to the top of the list. Yet DOMDocument has given me so many headaches...

Grayed out means down voted, right? But why?! First good comment on the thread: no bitching, no need to click the link to find ~20 fixes, here's the alternative, never look back. Period.
