I think the easiest thing to forget is what made PHP popular was how easy it was to get started writing software that worked good enough. The barrier to entry was incredibly low. It caused a lot of bad code & gave PHP a bad reputation but a lot of good was also made from it.
PHP made a lot of careers for developers as they were able to fake it until they made it while learning how to code & providing significant value to a businesses.
While PHP is nothing like its former self, most people who developed web apps in the first decade of the century will probably always remember PHP for what it was.
