Some php code is spaghetti, literally. imho, what happens many times is
something that was supposed to only be a quick 200 lines turns
out to be multi script and thousands of lines, sometimes worked on by
ten or more different people - each adding their own 'unique' fix to
the overall logic - result - pasta... - best advice: decline politely or quote 
to remake... :)
