I said a couple of times that I assumed that the application was
designed well. The "crappyness" of an application has nothing to do
with the language it is in. Is it a good application or not? If you
have the same people that wrote the application write it again in a
"better" language and the design was crap, the application will still be
crap.

What you think you won't be fixing and supporting a PHP application if
it is design poorly?

Do you want to use PHP or not? What is more important, to use PHP or
re-write the application? If it is more important to re-write the app
with a cleaner implementation then I have a feeling your senior
programmer (who has NO PHP experience) would just assume go make a
version 2 in ASP because that is what he is familiar with. I doubt you
will get PHP and a complete rewrite. Choose your battles.
