title: Writing Clean and Efficient PHP Code
body: <p>I have been looking around online and I cant seem to find an article on this that isn't totally outdated. Does anyone have any good articles that give some good advice? What I have read so far is good, and a bit helpful, but I want to have modern code examples, not ones from 2002. </p>
  
  <p>I have coded an extensive PHP/MySQL program and I am trying to make it better now, any suggestions?</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT:
  People are suggesting frameworks, and I appreciate it but I am looking for coding tips for raw PHP Coding. The whole application is already done and it would be very lengthy to recode the entire thing in a framework.
  I will be checking those out for future projects though. Does anyone know or have any tips for Writing Clean and Efficient PHP Code?</strong></p>
