RE: What Happened to PHP?

I think that PHP is the most versatile programming language that I have ever encountered.

The language lets people use whatever coding style they desire.

I used PHP primarily for creating data driven web sites.

I had written a number of tutorials to help small businesses develop sites using a functional paradigm on PHP.

For that matter, I still believe that the functional paradigm is best paradigm for small businesses.

Anyway, I reported a bug in their software. Instead of looking at the bug, the engineers started berating me and the people who used my code.

The engineers at Zend were telling the people I worked for that my code was crap. The completely destroyed me and my credibility.

I noticed that Zend wasn't just attacking me. In their effort to sell their framework, they were berating all of the people who were developing free form sites.

I was completely devastated when they did this.

When I was researching this article, I discovered that Zend finally stopped pushing their Zend Framework on everyone. It appears that they have returned to supporting different frameworks and home grown code.
