I can't view that article because it's down, but I assume this is some sort of "PHP internals suck" rant.

I'm surprised there isn't something like JPHP yet to run PHP on the JVM.

there are a few options:

quercus and ibm's ... ack - what was it called? they had a 'freeware' CMS that included their own implementation of PHP in Java.

I think there's another too, but there's quite a lot of oddities and assumptions that make PHP-based code not play well in the JVM.

Don't think it solves this problem but Caucho Resin (Java EE server) should be able to run php as well.
