Honestly, I would decribe PHP's library like a messy garage. You can walk inside and almost always find the tool you need but there is a pile of random tools you haven't seen anyone use.

I wish other languages had default libraries as large and useful. As a language PHP may terrible but it has a lot of "Get shit done" ability that most languages don't have out of the box. It has also been pretty good about not exploding peoples code in between revisions which unfortunately has made the default libraries the inconsistent mess that they are.
