...all the PHP code I’ve seen in that experience has been messy, unmaintainable crap. Spaghetti SQL wrapped in spaghetti PHP wrapped in spaghetti HTML, replicated in slightly-varying form in dozens of places. -- Tim Bray
I've done a bit of PHP coding and I have to agree. I was lost trying to structure my code in some clean and reusable way. The PHP code in MT using Smarty isn't too bad, but its hardly the norm. I think ultimately the problem is that PHP makes it easy for people who don't know what they are doing to achieve results even at the expense of good solid development practices and methodologies.
