I have been programming regularly in PHP for the past five years and for web development this is rarely an issue. Every language makes trade-offs and PHP allows quick code to be written that does what you want more often than not. Obviously, I would not want to use PHP for mission critical code, but I also wouldn't want most web developers in the real world writing code in a language like C.

Perhaps not, but I *would* like to see more web developers endeavoring to learn and understand C, as that would go a long way towards alleviating your apprehension about using PHP in mission-critical scenarios.

Please explain what you mean. Maybe mission critical was not the correct word.
