Good evening, Internals! *Disclaimer: *I wanted to bring this discussion inside the internals mailing list not only because of the fact that the PHP.net website's source code on GitHub doesn't have issues enabled, but especially because I think it's part of the PHP environment, just like the spec or the actual C code itself.
You all know the http://php.net website and it's source code <https://github.com/php/web-php>. It comes to my attention that this source code is pretty much a very good example of how *not *to build websites in PHP — the source code predates the PHP 3 days, but that's just one of the problems. I'm not go further into the details of the problems we actually have inside that code, as they are very obvious and the source code speaks for itself — of course, if needed, we can discuss this in more detail later. What I wanted to know from you is: would it be interesting if we started a complete rewrite of the website, not only for actually improving it, but also for making it serve as a reference for people to see how the PHP environment has evolved and what are the good practices we use these days for building websites?
