PHP with these guidelines looks like JAVA to me, but without the relatively sane foundations.
It is fun how much a very old moralist sentence by Confucius applies well to PHP. He said 其本亂而末治者否矣 which can be translated, in software language development context, as "Build a nice, reliable language on shitty definition? Bullshit!".
(The word-by-word translation is "your - root - messy - and/but - leaves/result - governed/orderly - have ? not - hey!")
This sentence also resonates with the odd Turkish encoding PHPbug recently reported here: if you have so many wrong architecture decisions in the core of your product, no amount of patching and "under the rub" filling will save you.

Edit: added word-by-word translation + typo fixes.
