In general I like PHP and what it can do. My immediate feeling is that it is not a robust as something like Java is especially when it comes to error reporting and trapping. It seems powerful, flexible, and forgiving. A little too forgiving perhaps and the precompiler does not seem to generate enough compile time errors to know what may be causing a problem with the code which has resulted in some frustrations. More communication please.

I will need to spend some time getting used to it. I look forward to actually being able to getting the Sauk County site moved over to Drupal and then being able to work in PHP more.
