I'm one of those in-a-hurry developers Jonas mentions. He is absolutely
correct; listen to him.  I left PHP for Ruby (on Rails) precisely
because I *know* how sloppy I am thus it seemed way more responsible for
me to jump to Ruby (or Perl or ...) despite the real cost of re-tooling
my aging brain. 

Running my own two servers at home, I'm more worried about Apache/PHP
exploits than I'm worried about Apache/Phusion/Ruby. Absolutely
non-scientific woo-mongering, I know, but that's where I'm at.

Right now I'm jacking around with a mail server on one of the machines,
something I really shouldn't be doing considering my skill level, but
there are precious few alternatives at the moment.
