This seems straightforward.  Not knowing anything about how php
discovers modules, how are the subfolders within /usr/share/php
recognized?  Would people have to modify the include_dir path or patch
code or rename files to make this work?

Should we just add the prohibition on using /usr/share/php to the
existing web application Guidelines?  And maybe link from the php
Guidelines to the Web Application Guidelines prominently?

Also, do any php web applications have general use as a library for
others to use?  Do php plugins need to be able to include pieces of the
web application and that would be best done by using /usr/share/php ?
Giving alternatives if php applications need to be fixed to not do this
would be good.
