In some respects it does because it means shortcuts are not allowed, it
also means that someone trying to hack through your site is going to be
held to a higher standard (ASP tags are cut off as well, the only thing
recognized and executed is PHP). Even CGI scripts reside in their own
directory and are called/executed from others.
for instance most of my scripts/functions are run from a
/share/php/functions directory instead of from the spot on the server.
Portability. :)
