Taking PHP Seriously

I would argue that PHP is more stateless than Node, for instance. Things that happen in previous requests do not affect following requests in PHP, unless you're explicitly using shared state. That's not the case in node, it isn't the case with most Java HTTP server implementations, and it wasn't the case in Rails back in the day (don't know how it is now).

Any language is stateless until you explicitly share state; the other languages just make it easier to share state. It’s not a bad design decision – makes them more versatile, or at least more cleanly usable outside of serving webpages – but is something to avoid in similar applications for sure.

I'm pretty sure PHP supports sessions. I am missing something?
