Yeah, I used to believe in that Urban Legend, and even promulgated it,
once upon a time.
Then Rasmus set me straight that it's not really any faste

One of the problems is trying to find a textbook for beginning
programmers, then adding the specifics of PHP on top of it. The best
that I can think of would be PHP for Dummies as it assumes no prior
programming experien

As to why I think one style is good or bad-- probably the same reasons
any of you prefer yours + in my experience, the style that I have

I beg to differ with everyone who said there's no difference between the
