A high level language should reduce boilerplate and 'force' you to write concise and predictable code. PHP does none of that especially in the context of error/exception handling.

None of your standards for what a high-level language should be have any bearing on what a high-level language is, according to the definition that people actually use, and those standards might exclude Python, Ruby, C++ and Java among others.
