There is two differences here. PHP has a higher % of younger programmers
and the PHP code is often mixed with HTTP code making the whole solution
to look more messed up.

The way a lot of PHP i written (agile, or "trial-n-error") might also
contribute to the less thought-over end result.

Well-written code from the same or similar programmers, should
not have any major differnces between PHP and C.
