Re: Poorly written code is not down to the language *cough* PHP *cough* but the developer
I'm sure if you look pre .NET at VB5 / VB6 code you'll find the same horror show.
No, you won't, if for no other reason than most code of that era wasn't exposed to the internet in the first place. But that isn't the only reason. A quick glance at the VB3 standard library, even before "Option Explicit", reveals a concept largely unknown in the Personal Home Page world - consistency.
You would be better off going after PowerBuilder or some other dodgy old 4GL, and you would still be wrong. PHP is uniquely bad. Nothing else comes close or has come close in the last thirty years.
