CodeIgniter framework and ExpressionEngine wants folks to use Allman. I use a programming lang called Objectscript at work, and it will give an error if there is not space between the "if" and the first "("... For example: if(...) <-- errors out. I have had to learn to put a space in there: if (...) So I don't forget, I do this for everything now... I actually kinda like the breathing room now. Speaking of spaces, I am not a fan of putting spaces around the argument: if ( foo == baz ) { I definitely prefer this: if (foo == baz) { More on spaces: I am so glad that most PHP folks I know use tabs for indentation and not spaces! Oops, did I just go there? Oh no I didn't! Good thread! Thanks for that link Tedd! Cheers, Micky
