For everyone out there that has been having issues with the quality of code in the articles posted as of late, Zend might just have something you'd want to look at.

According to the title of this piece, Develop rock-solid code in PHP: Part one, the code and suggestions that lie inside it are the best out there, and that they can help you produce the code that everyone might actually enjoy using. With suggestions like: Never think in pages, and Don't be afraid to scrap designs, it seems to me that we've heard them all before somewhere, though. Most of the recommendations are good, but they've been stated elsewhere, and aren't really that revolutionary. Though, for the newbies out there, this article might be just what you need to get the ball rolling.

In this series opener, you saw what actually goes into making rock-solid code. Making big-applications in PHP is not at all difficult if you work carefully. In fact, many applications in PHP have been developed single-handedly. At the same time, it is important to realize that you can easily fall into traps. As long as you plan, break things down into smaller tasks, and implement them properly, little else should get in your way.
