I've been coding for over 20 years now! (WOAH, do I feel old)
I've touched just about every resource imaginable under the Sun (too bad they were bought out by Oracle)
Technically, they did agree on one particular thing: consistency with the underlaying C libraries PHP functions were calling. But these C libraries were never built with each other in mind. PHP was initially "scripted C", and so everything uses those function parameter order. Programming in C and jumping to PHP is natural if you're used to the underlaying libraries, but when taken as a collection, the inconsistency does shine.
