Realize your "recent" article was published in 2005 (read the link) and not to mention that this has been brought up about 6 different times in the last 4 months...

Well, I know one problem is the view of "free" or "opensource" in some
people's eyes is that there must be something wrong with it. PHP falls into
this category. I work for a large corporation, we use PHP here, Yahoo uses
it, a lot of places use it. It can handle enterprise. Really, I think the
architecture of the software would dictate that more than that language.

I just read an interesting article about enterprise software. One of
the most common arguments against PHP tends to be "It's not enterprise
ready." This article talks more about ruby, but it could be about any
"non-enterprise" language as well.

I recently got a new job at a hospital, and the "enterprise software"
they have is no where near as high quality as it could/should be. This
is my first job at a somewhat large organization (500+ employees) so I
was kind of shocked at the state of their software. Typically
healthcare systems are further behind in the technology adoption, but
having to deal with workarounds all day long sure gets old.

hmm I read the article, and it seems to hit the nail on the head. I am
currently leaving the company I work for because these symptoms. our
project, which is large and well-designed, but not 'enterprise' in this
way, is now transformed into something I do not want to participate in
anymore. the company employed some uncompetent but highly paid
consultants who sell the software although it is not nearly finished,
they interfere with the development, and so on... so one by one the
original developers quit, and the software becomes enterprise, developed
by incompetent and cheap new developers

Seems like PHP is already in the enterprise:

Bahh, it's because people can't find the difference from php the language,
and something else the framework.
