Just because software is poorly designed, doesn't mean to say the language
is crap. I've seen plenty of poorly written Delphi code, parts of the VCL
included, and we all know Delphi is far from crap. osCommerce IS the
abomination, not PHP.
Just like in ASP / JSP, embedding HTML is only an option. You don't have to
use it. Personally, I generate all my HTML through XSLT. All my code needs
to do is create the right XML data structure and the presentation is all in
XSLT.

Yes it is off topic but you started it!
PHP5's OO is a lot better and you could build a good framework in it
(it is probably your framework which is good not the language)
Some things in PHP5 are great Autoload for class refs etc, I'd not
dismiss PHP.
As you know its not the language which it at fault with HTML dev, its
generally HTML itself but every time I see another golden bullet dev
platform (Ruby on rails for example) I have a sly chuckle
The best bit is that you can make PHP 5 look a lot like Delphi

But this is off-topic.
Ever tried to understand what is going on in oscommerce? PHP begs
spaghetti coding - and I can't stand that method of building web pages.
I have my own framework I have worked on for years, it is
mega-productive, extremely clean and very extensible. It is also in Java
which is both good and bad. My role in DevCo will require me to use and
promote both technologies, but I'd like to be able to use it in .NET as
well.

Having done very little PHP I can't comment too much, however the bit of
cut and paste I have done I found fairly easy to understand and improve
upon.
Do you consider it an abomination because of it's syntax (like say, they
way VB is an abomination)?
