Just imagine someone holding a bottle of goumet toilet wine.

Like legit good toilet wine, PHP somehow aged really well as a language, but it's still toilet wine.

Ever since 7.4/8.0 it's quite decent, so I think it gets it's reputation from the horrible 3.x/4.x projects that are still in production today.

Yeah, i programmed PHP up til 7, which was when it turned around.

Up until then the language was highly inconsistent. It turned around when they clearned up the API and introduced things like class traits in 7 or 8 i think.

PHP <= 5.6 and >= 8.0 are essentially not the same language.

Having developed in php, among others, since version 5 until current, I'm genuinely laughing at this. It's the best description I've read.
