When PHP v5.4 was the latest & greatest - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP#Release_summary - and rather different from current (supported) versions.
If OP was trying to say that PHP has (present tense) serious problems, there are much more recent (relevant) articles out there.
some years ago, i worked on migrating a PHP 5.6 code base to 7. it was the combination of of "odd" programmer decisions and weird language features that made me really un-love the language.
also, sadly, phpsadness.com is no longer active, but some of the of the gripes with the language eventually were fixed. archive link: https://web.archive.org/web/20261004002230/http://phpsadness...
once i left my old workplace i haven't felt the need to work with PHP again.
