Inconsistent error handling, for example. Why do some functions fail silently, some functions return false, some functions produce warnings, some functions throw exceptions, and some functions tell you to call another function to retrieve the error code?

Ruby and Python are much more consistent in that regard.

If the best you can do is close to a year stale and doesn't apply to the latest version, I'd say PHP is doing a fine job.

Also, reddit? Really?

Really? 5.4 has fixed the retarded associativity of the ternary and all error reporting?
