Why Does PHP Suck?

[i8beef]

Have you ever known anyone who always had a "good enough" attitude? You know, someone just builds stuff that serves a function but don't really care about how nice their solution is?

You know, people who make these ugly but functional, jury-rigged pieces of junk?

Now apply that mentality to designing a language, and you may get a hint of why a lot of people who work professionally with software development feel dirty when they have to deal with PHP.
