Actually, PHP is a phenomenal, scalable, and
brilliantly-extensible <?=strtolower("BUSINESS");?> language. Yahoo!,
IBM, Google, and (of course) Zend are just a few of the multi-million
and billion dollar players. The company for whom I'm building web and
desktop-level, as well, a multi-million dollar corporation, and the
applications are not strictly web-based. In fact, I've developed
full-scale client-server systems, complete with graphical front-ends
(using GTK+, REALBasic, or other simple front-end, GUI faceplates).
Of the last three nine-figure-valued (not including beyond the
decimal point! ;-P) companies I've consulted or done programming for,
all three utilized PHP. One as a core component of their business
model, and two to compliment their existing technology.
So just because it doesn't work for you doesn't mean "that it's
not ever going to be a major player in Real World business solutions."
Real World[TM] business solutions are discovered by recognizing a
problem or identifying a need, defining that problem or need, and
developing a solution. No language ever created --- or that ever WILL
be created --- will ever be a "business solution;" it will be the
masters of those languages that will mold that solution.
