Some are pro some are against as always ;)

Things like this always come down to personal preference. Me I
completely agree with the first link I posted. Much of the argument has
been about people not creating programs well....

I think this never solves the problem as in the first link above. You
need to do solid checking of your programs with unit testing and all the
above. Most of the errors I see in PHP are logic errors. You will find
those just about anywhere.
