Criticism
Some common criticisms of the PHP language include weak support for Object-oriented programming, thread safety, unit testing, exception handling, step-through debugging, domain modeling, inconsistent naming and poor performance when compared to rival frameworks and languages. In the past there have been numerous security issues found within the framework. Despite numerous criticisms from computer scientists and programmers, PHP remains the most popular server-side scripting language in the world. Also, there are efforts undergoing to try to improve PHP, and it has recently gained features at a rapid pace, such as JSON-inspired short array syntax, traits, function array dereferencing, and features such as generators are to be implemented in future versions, as well as the removal of some bad features such as "magic quotes".

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“A friend of mine spoke of books that are dedicated like this: “To my wife, by whose helpful criticism ...” and so on. He said the dedication should really read: “To my wife. If it had not been for her continual criticism and persistent nagging doubt as to my ability, this book would have appeared in Harper’s instead of The Hardware Age.””
—Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
“When you overpay small people you frighten them. They know that their merits or activities entitle them to no such sums as they are receiving. As a result their boss soars out of economic into magic significance. He becomes a source of blessings rather than wages. Criticism is sacrilege, doubt is heresy.”
—Ben Hecht (1893–1964)
“It is ... pathetic to observe the complete lack of imagination on the part of certain employers and men and women of the upper-income levels, equally devoid of experience, equally glib with their criticism ... directed against workers, labor leaders, and other villains and personal devils who are the objects of their dart-throwing. Who doesn’t know the wealthy woman who fulminates against the “idle” workers who just won’t get out and hunt jobs?”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
