Lay a rock-solid foundation
Coding in PHP is very much like coding in a language like C. They are syntactically similar which can also lead to similar code maintenance problems. When large-scale applications have to be developed, large quantities of code may be written. Over time, this code may become unmanageable and soon bugs creep in. Wherever you heard this, it is untrue -- at least partly. But the bigger truth is that if you find yourself maintaining your code too often, your application was probably poorly designed in the first place.
