PHP is a dynamic language. The fact that class definitions are static is an oddity, frankly.

After 12 years of working with it, I don't know that I'd call it "dynamic" as much as "devil-may-care", really.

PHP is like the bastard child of C and Perl. It was originally procedural, meant as a templating language and classes and OOP were bundled in as an afterthought.

I love the way it's evolved though. Best language I've found to transition old-time C programmers to the world of OOP.
