As we all know, probably the most annoying aspect of these problems is that the various “duplicated” bits of code are often not quite the same.
PHP’s biggest weakness, in my opinion, is also a fundamental aspect of its design: “code and data are intermingled.” Logic is scattered willy-and-yon among the presentation and is usually completely governed by it. I have turned a lot of PHP modules into Template::Toolkit files, but it was never, ever easy. You basically are re-writing the damn thing . . . basically, from scratch. But sometimes you just can’t make a silk purse.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
