So, given you "don't care what happens to PHP", I assume you don't give much heed to whether it's winning or dying. That's basically what @deanclatworthy is saying, so there is nothing to fight about. Cheers!

Without giving a hint on the market share of PHP in the future, I think it tells something about its attraction force.
I mean, I didn't coded much Ruby over the last months in professional projects, but I am still interested with its evolution because it was such a delight to use it with Rails.
Regarding PHP, well, I did some in the past, and my next professional project include to deal with a PHP code base. In the meantime, I didn't care to use it or look at how it was evolving, which is "as exciting as your toothbrush" innovations.
I'm not fighting, I just gave a single data point that invalidated (logically, not actually) one part of his argument (the one I quoted) :) And then a bit of commentary.
The argument isn't that every person not using PHP thinks it is dying. As such, I don't see how your response invalidated it.
Also, the statement "that is absolutely not true" should probably be backed up by more than your single data point.
