This Quora post crossed my desk the other day.

You could subsititue Access/VBA for PHP in the comments and it would repeat what we have 
all been saying for years :)

Typical response:
<begin quote>
"PHP is so simple for any developer (someone who´s already learned programming itself) to 
learn that it´s gotten such a bad reputation - because people with no idea of how to build 
websites can build garbage with PHP."

It's so easy to get started with PHP that a lot of people just do that and produce a lot of 
amateur code, leading to a bad reputation not only of the language, but also of the people 
writing in it.
