This question already has an answer here:

The winner will be the one to use the shortest code to reverse this string:

Today there was two clouds in the sky, each forming a shape.

It may be in any programming language.

Why PHP? Puzzles are encouraged to be language-agnostic. –  Kendall Frey Feb 4 at 17:37
    
This question appears to be off-topic because it is about printing a string, rather than a programming challenge –  Quincunx Feb 4 at 18:39

PHP 14 +str

as in

<?=strrev('Today there was two clouds in the sky, each forming a shape.');

?

it doesn't sound like a particularly interesting challenge

Here's a valid golf for PHP (also works in HTML): .epahs a gnimrof hcae ,yks eht ni sduolc owt saw ereht yadoT –  B1KMusic Feb 11 at 2:35
    
@B1KMusic i didn't do it that way because in my opinion it's longer, since it doesn't contain the obligatory string, but another string that represents the reversed one –  Einacio Feb 11 at 16:06
    
I'm not sure what you're getting at, but the challenge is "Shortest code to reverse a string". Why would you want longer code? And if you're saying the snippet I suggested is longer, a simple echo [str] | wc -c reveals that my snippet is 61 chars, and your golf is 14 chars longer, weighing in at 75 chars. I'm also unclear on what you mean by "in my opinion it's longer", because as we all know, length is an objective thing, while opinions are subjective. Fact != Opinion –  B1KMusic Feb 11 at 16:46
