Initially, this site has been launched as a place where I can *treat PHP delusions*: disprove numerous fallacies and superstitions circulating in the PHP community. Eventually I learned that it's not enough to disclose a misconception or a wrong practice - the right way should be shown as well, so for the time being I switched to writing educational articles. But seeing the same delusions expressed again and again on Stack Overflow or other forums around the Net, I decided to compile a sort of Top 10 list, the most frequent PHP delusions. Some of them are quite important, whereas others are but nitpicks. But they all indicate a *cargo cult programming*, a practice then someone mindlessly uses a code due to common belief/practice but don't really get the idea of it.
