I love php :)

Yes!

I was involved with a project using jrun a while ago, not only was it buggy
(lots of padding at the top and bottom of every file, or it would crash, no
double-byte chars, etc etc)

it was a pain in the a** to work with.

Of everything I've worked with, php is both the fastest and most efficient.

of course, because it doesn't force any structure, it's easy to write
spaghetti if you're not thinking about it. (problem solved :)
