Along with a range of other languages, I write both PHP and C code.

My PHP code looks just like my C code, and the only real difference
is the use of the higher level constructs available in PHP.

For example, it has the same code layout, same types of variable
names, same brace style (Whitesmiths), etc.

I wonder if what Bill is _really_ claiming is more about the
difference in coding styles between different programmers and
less about the syntax of PHP as such. IOW, is Bill really
claiming that he doesn't like the coding style of the PHP
programmers whose code he has looked at ?

Simon.
