What about PHP's blatant disregard for consistent naming conventions? Statements which look like functions (array(), isset() etc..)?

Those listed are functions, technically. isset() is a function, not an operator. array() is compariable to a function that returns an array. Irritating in a non-typed language I'll admit.

Can't argue there.

Oh yeah, my own personal favourite is how NULL, false and zero all evaluate to the same thing! Genius!

You need to learn about the === operator, clearly.

I could go on for ages...

As could I.

PHP maybe weird, inconsistant, and painful in many, many cases. However, there are workarounds for everything you've stated.

as i said earlier what language you chose is down to personal taste...
