It really comes down to a matter of preference and a situation.
For PHP code you have the [php] tag for syntax highlighting provided by PHP's own native highlight_string() function. However, in my experience this sometimes causes problem as the entered code when copied & pasted from the page does not always come out the same. Some browsers will paste the HTMLized code, which must be 'cleaned' before it can run to me this is a BIG annoyance.

So, then there is [code] tag which will output code without any alterations to make sure that you can safely copy & paste into your application and have it work with no additional effort.

More over, people may use [code] tag to show examples of how to use various forum tags etc... and making those tags valid inside [code] would leave them without means to do so.
