Well it is really up to the developer to compartmentalize the code.

That is

what we get paid the big bucks for. As far as scaling, take a look at squirrelmail and phpgedview. Both of these PHP apps are quite

To each their own though.

Oh I agree. All I was speaking for was my personal experience, which was that C# is easier to organize that PHP. Both languages I learned from books, and of the two I've seen more professional C# code than I have PHP. I should probably take a look at these two projects and see if there are any organizations tricks I can pickup from them.

Another thing is that C# doesn't force any specific organizational scheme; it just provides more mechanisms to do so. This is probably a by-product of being compiled however.

Although I've heard you can compile PHP as well; I've never had any experience with it.
