Your PHP complaints are far too low-level. The big problem with PHP is that it has essentially no way to encapsulate things or share code safely. See this article for more.

      Classes are better, but they still have no namespaces. Everything is in one global namespace.

        Just being devils advocate for a minute: How is this different from Perl?

        Perl mangles the package and class concepts together - it doesn't really have namespaces either (in the sense they are used in C#, C++, Smalltalk, etc.)
