## What it is
A curated guide adapting Robert C. Martin's Clean Code concepts to PHP, with concrete before/after code examples. It covers naming, functions, objects, classes, and SOLID principles for writing maintainable PHP.

## Use cases
- learn clean code principles in PHP
- improve readability of PHP code
- understand SOLID principles with PHP examples
- onboard junior PHP developers to best practices
- refactor messy PHP codebases
- establish coding standards for a PHP team

## When to choose
- you write PHP and want practical, example-driven clean code guidance
- you need a free reference for code review standards in PHP projects

## When to avoid
- you need automated linting or formatting tools rather than a guide
- you work in a language other than PHP

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: stable
- function: documentation
- domain: developer-tools, tutorials
- platform: php
- tags: clean-code, best-practices, code-quality, solid-principles, style-guide
