At my job, I was basically required to use PHP, and... I have come to realize it is not actually all that bad. In fact, in several ways, it's pretty awesome.

			I actually still believe that, and so here is what happened:

			Basically, I think this type of coding is crap:

			<source lang="php">
			<?php
			//***********************************************//
			//
			// this code is crap and formatted as such
			//
			//
			// fantastic description of great program
			//
			//
			/***********************************************/

			<html>
			<head>
			</head>
			<body>
			<h1>title</h1>

			<p>Here is the thing for today: <?php $thing = $DB->getThing(date("Y.m.d")); echo $thing; ?> I love it!</p>

			</body>
			</html>
			</source>

			I would see all types of things written inline, and I couldn't grok the overview of the code for anything.

			I finally decided on this type of rule. For simple echo statements, such as

			<source lang="php"><?php echo "echo statements"; ?></source>

			I would happily code them inline. But if there was actual programming logic, I want that pulled "out"

			<source lang="php">
			<?php
			//***********************************************//
			//
			// this code is crap, but formatted nicely
			//
			//
			// fantastic description of great program
			//
			//
			/***********************************************/

			<html>
			<head>
			</head>
			<body>
			<h1>title</h1>

			<p>Here is the thing for today:
			<?php
			$thing = $DB->getThing(date("Y.m.d"));
			echo $thing;
			?>
			I love it!</p>

			</body>
			</html>
			</source>

			For me, this makes all the difference in the readability of the code.

Thunderrabbit: created, just a note saying I used to not like PHP

created, just a note saying I used to not like PHP

New page

Not so long ago, I didn't like PHP because I didn't like having "code inside HTML." I preferred Perl, where the code was first, and the HTML was produced by the code. "HTML inside code"

At my job, I was basically required to use PHP, and... I have come to realize it is not actually all that bad. In fact, in several ways, it's pretty awesome.
