Type hinting? There. Traits? There. Interfaces? There. I could go on but PHP has all these features that people keep saying are missing.
I’m not saying you don’t have to like PHP, everyone likes there own labgua and that’s fine.
However, people keep making shit up about phpt and then use that shit to smear it and it’s annoying. PHP is great for web sites, small and complicated, it’s great for command line scripting, it’s great for a large list of tasks and it seems that what you need is there.
It doesn’t really count if you need a huge framework for it. Frankly I never saw PHP used well, and I never saw it do anything better than other languages can do.

It doesn’t need a huge framework for any of the things I mentioned.
I use my own (rather small still, really) framework to make things easier, like you’d do for any larger projects.
But I can (and have) on many occasions just slap something together as well
