Good points. I feel I should point out that you can use PHP independent of any web server by using the command line interpreter (CLI) version. This is, for example, how we run PHP cron jobs where I work.

True. Not a strength for the language though - if that's a big part of what you do, then I'd consider something else. That said, I've built plenty of applications that used PHP on the command line or as a daemon.
