This does not justify chosing PHP for a new project.
There are hundreds of examples that show how bad PHP really is. Why make the choice of using a broken language when there are so many better alternatives?
I strongly believe that using a complex, non consistent and hard to debug language actually slows down development and is even dangerous.
Being "absolutly everywhere" is not an argument. COBOL, PASCAL and FORTRAN used to be everywhere too.
