You'll often read a reference to "clean code" amongst PHP heads (and all other code writers for that matter) and above is essentially what they mean by this term.

If you really want to learn PHP though I can guarantee one thing: that you will succeed if you have enough time and are determined enough.

Nobody is born to code PHP - expertise will come about through you applying yourself.
