    IMO the 1 and only important reason is that PHP today is much different than PHP of the past. PHP's notoriety comes from its early days, but now I hear it's another general-purpose language with modern design, good IDE support, and tons of online resources. Plus it's a explicitly designed for server-side scripting, so if that's your goal it will be the best (most straightforward and supported) choice.

    I feel like a lot of these apply to many languages. I'm not saying don't use PHP, but I'm not sure I'd recommend it to someone just starting out in programming.
