So why don't PHP developers use numbers? One problem with using procedural code in PHP is naming. If you have hundreds of functions then you are going to run into naming problems after a while. In PHP function names not protected by OOP classes have to have unique names. So what do you do if using a callback system like that of Wordpress or Drupal.
