Hey all. I've read the pear coding standards. I assume that if php has any official coding standards then the pear standards would be them, correct? Anyways, the pear docs on coding standards show examples of using controls structures like the following: if ( !$var ) { do_something(); } else { do_something_else(); } ------- But I really don't like putting the opening brace on the same line as the control statement. I really prefer doing this: if ( $var ) { do_something(); } or if( $var ) { do_something(); } else { do_something_else(); } ------- Putting the opening brace one line down on the same column that the control statement starts on seems to give me a much better visual cue, especially when dealing with nested control statements. Is doing it my preferred way acceptable? Will my code be looked down on? thanks, --ed __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
