This language allows type hints on function parameters but not return variables.  In a blog post on why this language is a "fractal of bad design", Eevee noted how its only unique operator, the @ sign, for some reason actively silences errors.  The creator of this language, Rasmus Lerdorf, admitted in 2003 that "I have absolutely no idea how to write a programming language".  An optional type system, itself written in Ocaml, was added to this language to create Hack, which was developed to wean (*) Facebook off of its heavy dependence on this language.  You definitely should use the method "mysql_real_escape_string" and not the still included "mysql_escape_string" when programming this language.  For 10 points, name this web programming language sort-of-derived from C, which appears in the name of the forum software used by hsquizbowl.
