That's interesting -- not meaning any disrespect, and this is just an 
opinion -- but in the newly published "PHP Phrasebook" by Christian 
Wenz (an excellent book btw), he says:

"Another phrase I promise you will not find in this book is anything 
that looks like foo, bar, baz, or any other proofs of very little 
imagination."

While you may not agree with his statement, but I personally don't 
like the use of terms like those for I find them confusing. I would 
much rather like to see real world examples. From there I can make 
the translation to what I want. But using terms like $foo just adds 
another level of abstraction for me understand. But, I'm also simple.

I have been programming since the mid 70's and foo was in the lexcon at
that point. I guess I am old school.
