It is probably unfair to call PHP a numpty language anyway. Programmers always have their biases and tend to favour one language over another. I’m as guilty as the next man in this respect.
I’ve always found PHP a little uncomfortable to use. Much of it seems bolted on to me. I did find this article on the Register which shows how you can use PHP for some bigger scale applications. This is way beyond what you need for a year 1 assignment anyway, but do read if you are interested.

PHP doing model 2, they’ll be telling me you can build application in JavaScript next and run them client-side.
