The worst part about PHP is constantly hearing from its detractors, who are often people who haven’t used the language in many years. Haystack needle order, $, fractal of bad design, it just gets old.

The language isn’t perfect but I love working with it, these 8.1 and 8.2 improvements have really made it sweet.

My biggest gripe at the moment is the (very old) behavior of e.g. preg_match() and sort(). You’ve got a small handful of these common functions that operate on their input by reference/in place which is gross. A new version of these would be welcome.

Is there still a php.ini that allows you to alter the language’s semantics? To me, that’s the biggest can of worms that PHP used to have. I haven’t touched it in years, so am not up to date.

Not really. You have a php.ini that can configure some behavior, but most of what was horrible is either deprecated or straight up removed (register globals, ...)

assert() is still broken if it's disabled in php.ini.

I mean yes php.ini allows you to disable any function you want, and if you do that then this function doesn't work like expected, I can hardly blame php for that.

Yes, that's fully true, but does specifically assert() falls into that category?
