PHP's is just... better. Whenever I want to find something, I just google "php" plus the vague description of what I want and it's almost always the first result. When I go to the page, the first thing I see is a very succinct description of the function followed by everything I could possibly need to use it correctly, most notably a simple example.
In python what happens? I google something simple like "python add on to list" and I'm greeted with... "5. Data Structures". I mean, maybe that's what I'm looking for. I google "python current time" and the first thing on the page is "This module provides various time-related functions" at which point I have to read each function definition one by one until I find the one I want.
When I'm in the docs it's because I want to know how to do something, and I want to learn how to do it in as little time as possible so I can get back to work. Playing find the function on a module page just doesn't stand up to the first result on a google search.
