Perhaps you have a completely different idea of "standards" than I do. PHP isn't really a programming language. It's much more a scripting language (you don't tend to write programs in PHP, you write dynamic web pages with it; yes it is possible to write programs in PHP). Perl is also mostly a scripting language in that you tend to use it to automate tasks (again, not always; it's used more as a programming language than PHP).

I have no idea why you'd say Java ruins the best coders. Java is fairly good at teaching Object-Oriented Programming which is really a must when using structured design.
