> What is inaccurate about it?

It's been debunked so many times over the years, I'm afraid I don't have the energy or desire to do it again when it's really not needed if you're far out of the php ecosystem that it really won't make a difference. Suffice to say the PHP it is talking about is nothing at all like modern PHP.

Sure PHP has improved since that was written, but I'm pretty sure it was accurate when it was written. And I suspect that it was probably a contributing factor in some of PHP's improvements since then.

It was accurate when it was written, but within a couple of years of that it wasn't yet it was still constantly used. Thats where it became damaging, people not grasping how inaccurate it was yet still kept pushing it as a current understanding of the language.
