You know what's annoying? This (yes, it happens) :
echo ("<table bgcolor=\"#ffffff\">");
echo ("<tr>");
echo ("<td bgcolor=\"#eeeeee\" width=\"300\">");
print("Name :");
$name = 'johnny';
printf("%s %s %s","<b>","$name","</b>");
echo ("</td>");
echo ("<td bgcolor=\"#eeeeee\" width=\"300\">");
print("Title :");
$title = 'smith';
printf("%s %s %s","<b>","$title","</b>");
echo("</td>");
echo("</tr>");
echo("</table>");
Coding standards are being created (via PEAR) and a few recent articles
exist but point is we're teaching differently, everywhere. PHP is loose
as a goose! print 'foo'; print("foo"); print "foo"; printf("%s","foo");
... all being taught, all being read, all being (mis)used.
Am looking forward to the in-progress PEAR Standards, which can partially
be seen here :

Once this comes about we'll start teaching _GOOD_ coding techniques and
after awhile many more will become pretty little coders writing (and
copying) pretty little recognizable scripts. Looking forward to it.
Looking forward to picking up a PHP book and seeing concepts shown through
standards and not through the authors preferred style at the moment. This
is especially true regarding articles/tutorials. Learn the standards
first! Then you may be free to roam about the isles.

A few humble thoughts.
