PHP has Thousands of Functions related to Web Development baked right in from Simple Ones like filter_var() , htmlentities() to json_encode() similar_text() and levenshtein() distance for Percentage matching. There are so many array() and string() functions that it is really mind-blowing !
Now comes complete OOP support in PHP5 and Native Unicode in PHP6.
Because try writing for example a Cookie in Java or a Servlet and you know what I am talking about. For String and Array handling most probably I am inventing some for-loop Algorithm in Java when in PHP I always find some ready-made function. Recent examples for me have been array_count_values() [Nothing similar in Java for finding aggregate of a Cart] and array_chunk() [ Try wrestling with Java Tokenizers here] . similar_text() Function in PHP is itself a beauty when you need to find How much 2 Strings matcheach other percentage-wise.
Does any other Web Development Language has such Vastness and Sheer Expanse as PHP ?
