If you ever do start a "Why PHP sucks" thread, PM me so I can join in the fun .

Seems to me, if you are going to have a PHP section though, it should be to promote PHP, not simply tell people to develop in some other language.

wtd's "Why Java Sucks" topic comes to mind

You might also have noticed the Introduction to Java thread.

I believe the best situation is balanced discussion. We should not simply tell people to use another programming language, but neither should we cheerlead for PHP. I think this thread fufills that goal.

Indeed, even when wtd considers a language on par with feces, he still can still tell you you're doing it wrong >_>

wow. Never saw this coming.

Hm, I'm developing a site with a login system, and I will eventually integrate it with something like phpBB. I might be interested in RoR, but integrating it with phpBB could get messy I think. Not sure.

Don't even think of using phpBB. There are much better solutions out there; ones which are actually well written and not full of security vulnerabilities.

Well, Invision is nice... but $$$.

punBB is good too, though I hesitate to mention it only because I haven't used it in a long time.
