Made a meme one that took 3 minutes to program, 5 minutes to find a good offline GeoIP location source for, 10 minutes to come up with a design for, and half an hour to make sure nothing got logged by the web server.
You have the code for this? Very interested in how you implemented it

Damn, PHP is such a sleeper of a language, I always forget how useful it can be.Thanks for sharing!
PHP is underappreciated, especially recent PHP. Null coalescing operators! Actually typed variables that produce an error if you pass the wrong type! It's superior to Python despite it's mid-2000s-spaghetti-college-kid-developer reputation.
Hell, I may get downvoted for this, but I honestly believe PHP's Doctrine is superior to Java/Kotlin's Hibernate. Symfony and Spring are almost equally good in terms of functionality, though PHP is quite a lot slower, sadly.
Nice, sounds like it's getting modernized. I'll have to give it another round, thanks!
Genuinely curious, how is it superior to Python in your opinion?
Edit: Apart from the things you listed 😅
It can run natively on an Apache server without any frameworks required to render user website markup and serve pages. That's a pretty awesome advantage.
PHP is the OG bad-ass for getting shit done. No setup, no compile, no deployment pipelines. Hell, you can create and write the files right there on the server with nothing more than an SSH terminal if you want.
