PHP is fun because it is extremely powerful, but nonetheless has a pretty easy learning curve.

I'm constantly amazed by the simple power of PHP's core functions. Just look at the long list of string functions - almost enough to satisfy any webmaster. The same for dates - you can convert from and to a wide range of formats, or build your own.

I find you start off coding lengthy loops of code then later realise you could have written them much simpler! But that's all part of the fun.
