To clarify: It is neither me nor the author of the article that has said misconceptions. So there really is no point in arguing that blog entries would be unreliable. In fact, the author explains *why* the listed statements are misconceptions about PHP, and I had found his reasoning rather logical. I wanted to inform about this article, as I had found it enlightening. I did not know that there are actually people hating PHP for various (dubious) reasons. I hoped for a serious discussion about the arguments of the author, maybe the comments that followed, and other wrong ideas about PHP that could be clarified; really not a confirmation of what was written.
