There is a wide range of quality in PHP code, and it depends mostly on the coder.

If your team uses simple php pages with inline code and a rats nest of includes like newbies did in 1999, it will be a disaster.

If they have progressed beyond that, you will have a range of experience from mediocre to excellent.

If your team has good coding conventions and practices and uses a modern framework (I use Yii on a current project and find it of high quality), they can write a solid maintainable app in PHP.

I use Yii myself, but I find that not so many people choose it over Symphony/CodeIgniter/CakePHP. I wonder if it is because of some bad marketing?
