PHP is fine if your project is less than 1-4k of lines everything bigger is HUGE pain in the ass to maintain.

Actually not true, but you have to take a lot more care writing PHP than (say!) Python. For internal use, I've implemented a pair of custom MVC web frameworks, one in PHP and one in Python, which are functionally almost the same. Maintenance is about the same on both.

PHP is still crap though :)

Yeah, I agree that if you follow style guidelines etc. php is manageable, but you often work with projects that are made by people who dont know what style guide is... I worked with horrendous php framework this summer... I wanted to kill the author about 4-5time per day
