   So... as a language, how friendly is PHP to novices? Specifically version 5 I would guess.

      @sim I found #PHP to be fairly easy, but with strange inconsistencies (particularly function names). Unlike #Perl or #Ruby, I could come back to something six months later and quickly figure out what it did and how it did it. That was about 15 years ago, but it could still be true today.

         @lnxw48a1 Strange inconsistencies don't sound too good, but that it is fairly easy to learn and come back to sounds promising. I've been told to stay away from 5, and move over to 7 though.
