It's not hard to find example PHP code. The problem seems to be that most of it is frameworks/libraries/etc. This is great, but I'd like to see an example of an actual website.
This stems from my perception that I can't build anything but "toys." My websites tend to be fairly CRUDdy, and it feels like my sites are a bit of generic MVC stuff and a lot of "SELECT" and "INSERT" statements.
I just want some assurance that I'm not "doing it wrong" since these are personal projects, and I'd like to use them to get a job.

PHP (recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor ) is a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML.
In recent years newer scripting languages have emerged however 77.5% of websites still use PHP as their server-side language, so it is still very much in use.
Facebook still uses PHP, but it has built a compiler for it so it can be turned into native code on its web servers, thus boosting performance.
Below is a good site that also make its source available (which is very well commented and easy to follow/understand, from a Zend Framework standpoint)

Check out MediaWiki. That's the same software that runs Wikipedia, and it's open source.

It's worth noting that the php.net website is itself open source.
