lmao, there are plently of big companies out there that use PHP, that was just a stupid thing to say ffs
your one of those guys that have the one thing they stick too and talk smack about everything else, bring up a few cons and leave out all the pros just to try and get ur point across, i like how you left so many things out of ur little rant to try and prove ur points, but really all you did was look like an ass to seasoned php developers
all code has its faults, all code has its security holes, there isnt one piece of software thats immune to these things, PHP is one of the worlds leading server side scripting technologies, it didnt get to be that way by being a pile of crap, craigslist uses php and mysql exclusively for their site, and since their devs know what they are doing they dont seem to have any issues using it, and thats just one example, banks and large enterprises including government entities have been bombarded by hackers, taking their systems down, ruining their hardware, etc etc, so see i can point out issues and flaws in what you think is the best shit ever
dont start downing a certain language just becus you fail at securing it, or have had issues with load balance, there are plenty of developers out there that know how to combat these issues, otherwise php would be as dead a language as BASIC is, not one of the leading languages
and if you have been doing this for 15 years and all you can do is blame the language for ur own short comings thats just sad.
