Also the language that runs half of the web.

Also the language that has made me millions over my career with no degree.

Also the language that allows people to be up and running in seconds (with or without AI).

I could go on.

Except that in a contemporary PHP that doesn't work any more.

  PHP Warning:  Uncaught Error: Undefined constant "flase" in php shell code:1

This means game over, the script stops there.
