egads... it distracts me to no end to see an if-else block broken up that
way... to me seeing
if( some expression ) {
some action
} else {
some other action
}
is the most normal thing in the world.
Same goes for the { at the end of the expression, such as
for( ... ) {
}
while( ... ) {
}
function SomeFunc() {
}
That's how I've written all my C, C++, JavaScript, ColdFusion CFSCRIPT, and
now PHP.
