I remember someone who told me that programming is an art.
What is the difference between art and technology, as far as personal understanding is concerned, the only difference between art and technology is that art is mastered by a few people and the average person does not understand it. And technology is an industrialized, popular thing. Obviously, in the current era of explosion-type industrialization, light has art is not, so, such as software industry must be able to form a pipelined production, making programming into a simple, basically everyone can get started with the technology, from the beginning, PHP formally cater to this demand, do not need to get started, get started quickly, Focus on dealing with business logic. When you look at the PHP source code, you will find that the language of the province encapsulates a large number of details, thus forming their own style, called PHP, called a new computer language.
In this condition, PHP in order to reduce the threshold, there are various defects, dirty,code smell ..... But it is also the advantage of this, and the computer in the time and space conversion of a truth, to achieve a balance point can be. As a simple language, but the programmer can not be simple, know it, and know its why, encountered a variety of bugs will be able to handle, do not surprise, write efficient, reasonable procedures. All the details are well known, and the artist is born.
[According to the concept of statistics, art is also subject to distribution, after all, in the hands of a few people can be called art]
