PHP's Bad Reputation

I came across this article discussing why PHP has a bad reputation. A lot of it came down to developers using poor practices. This excerpt: Copying internet tutorial code and not reviewing it struck me as particularly relevant, and something I think we see a lot of in the PHP forum. Granted for any language there are the low-quality and outdated tutorials out there, but PHP seems to have an abundance of this.

What are everyone's thoughts on the article? What good practices would you encourage for a PHP developer? Other thoughts?
