I don't know much PHP but there seems to be a grammar at
http://www.csci.csusb.edu/dick/samples/php.syntax.html#PHP%20Identifiers

It seems to differ from perl in that identifiers don't start with [$@%] instead
starting with $+.

Strings ( http://www.csci.csusb.edu/dick/samples/php.syntax.html#Scalar%20Types 
)
start and end with quotes, so there's no need to try and handle perl strings 
which
would break every other language.

Can you point me at a code sample that illustrates good PHP style?

And how does PHP embed in html?  Is it the <? ... ?> or and <?php ... ?> style 
embedding?

Depends on which php version your using.

php4
-----
<? and ?>

php5
-----
<?php and ?>

I believe that you should make it only for <?php ?>
dirgesh: this works for php4 too. 
Your was is a very old way and I doubt that the majority use it anyway.

What? Lots of people use <? and ?>, and also syntax such as <?=$foo?> for a 
quick echo.
