He mentioned using a feature only available in PHP 5, so yes.

PHP definitely can be used in a reasonably professional way, you just won't get a lot of examples of it being used that way in books or in code you'll come across on the Internet, usually.

Probably most of the people who know how to use PHP as well as it can be used work at Yahoo.

Sadly that's true. There aren't many good examples of using PHP the professional way. That being said I can somewhat relate to the author(coming from PERL/PHP jumped to Rails and back to PHP). I loved the way Rails was constructed and how it approaches web app development not to mention. I definitely think most web development frameworks should take a page off it's book.
