The issue with PHP is devs like that guy.

Indeed. I'm not a fan of PHP but I think a big part of its poor reputation is from this kind of developer.

I'm still maintaining some code written by someone like this - though it's been mostly replaced by a new rails app I've developed.

So the issue is not breaking backwards compability in the "standard library" between versions?

If that's an issue with PHP, it's certainly not unique to PHP.

Is it not?

Doesn't stop it from being an issue in my book, one that prevents updating to newer versions of the interpreter without breaking production.
