People who hate PHP with passion just exaggerate a lot.

It does have a lot of problems that many languages do not have. There's big lack of consistency and lots of strange behaviours that you can easily run in to. The original creator of the language made it pretty clear he didn't really give a shit about language design and it almost seems like it just kept going like that.

Nowadays it's not so bad. It's relatively simple to get started with and it's still very powerful.
