Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link Ben Ramsey's PHP posts, including his 2013 introduction of array_column and his 2009 post on building Titanium apps with PHP. The comments cite them as references and do not judge the writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

HN discussionNice! I remember using a tool called Appcelerator Titanium about 15 years ago. It was like a precursor to Electron, and you could use various languages to build desktop and mobile apps - including PHP. It blew my mind at the time that this was possible. https://benramsey.com/blog/2009/10/building-titanium-with-ph... Glad to see the PHP desktop app dream has been kept alive :)
