Re: Coding standards (layout)

For those of you who aren't sure where the heck those space-after-comma and the other rules are coming from, that's the K&R coding standard, which is the coding standard for the php4 repository. One other rule that's really not followed is [3]: [3] Be generous with whitespace and braces. Always prefer:

    if (foo) {
        bar;
    }

    to:

    if(foo)bar;

    Keep one empty line between the variable decleration section and
    the statements in a block, as well as between logical statement
    groups in a block.  Maintain at least one empty line between
    two functions, preferably two.

Guys, Please follow the coding standards as they appear in the CODING_STANDARDS with code you commit to the PHP repository. Stuff I noticed while going over large portions of code in the last few days: - open-curly-braces should not appear on the same line as a function declaration, but on the following line - commas (e.g. in function calls or declarations, or macro calls) should be followed by a space. I.e., foo(a, b, c), never foo(a,b,c). Going over code which has many different layouts is a real pain. The code in the php4 repository at least should be consistent.
