Re: on style (was mixing PHP and HTML code)

actually, that's a good separate point: I dislike the PEAR coding standard's inflexibility. I _fully_ dig coding standards, but that feels a little too "iron fisted" to me... who cares if someone uses 4 spaces instead of a tab? hopefully I'm not putting my foot in my mouth and have that somewhere in the binarycloud code standard... maybe I should go look :) _alex -- Alex Black, Head Monkey enigma@turingstudio.com The Turing Studio, Inc. http://www.turingstudio.com vox+510.666.0074 fax+510.666.0093 Saul Zaentz Film Center 2600 Tenth St Suite 433 Berkeley, CA 94710-2522 > From: dano@informano.net ("DanO") > Newsgroups: php.general > Date: 12 Jan 2001 12:14:44 -0800 > Subject: [PHP] on style (was mixing PHP and HTML code) > > > the main reason to follow guidelines like this is to make your code legible > and modifiable. > > i come to PHP from HTML via Perl/CGI, and have inherited some nasty code on > sites i have worked on. i've always appreciated code that is structurally > formatted. > > Perl is notorious for its intrinsic flexiblity and default global variables, > which allows for programmers to write statements that are very hard to > comprehend while reading the code. this follows for other scripted > languages like JavaScript and PHP. > > using braces and indents are a part of authoring legible code in almost any > programming language, and should be exercised whenever possible if you are > writing code that others will work on, or if you intend for your code to be > portable. > > i do think that the code standard has some good elements to it, but it goes > too far to specify a 4-space indent and to specify no spaces within if > (condition) statements. > > we all benefit from writing legible code, plain and simple. > > DanO > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Mark Maggelet [mailto:maggelet@mminternet.com] > Sent: Friday, January 12, 2001 11:40 AM > To: enigma@turingstudio.com; php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: Re: [PHP] mixing HTML and PHP code > > >> http://www.binarycloud.com/code_standard.html > >>> >>> http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-pear&m=97603413001842&w=2 > >>> Best Practices: PHP Coding Style : >>> http://phpbuilder.com/columns/tim20010101.php3 > >>> Smart Architectures in PHP : >>> http://phpbuilder.com/columns/tim20001010.php3 > > These are all just opinions, none of these are official Php style > guidelines, so there's no real reason to follow them. > > - Mark > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net >
