I haven't used PHP in a while (10+years) but I didn't think it was that frustrating as its reputation seems to imply today. I remember their docs all had examples and I found that pretty useful.

It can be pretty frustrating when dealing with old code bases. However its introducing a lot of really great features, so if you've got the time to either start a new project or rewrite with the more modern features you'll be fine.
