additionally I also tend to always provide an alternative, especially if dealing
with nested ifs or loops, even if just a comment... call it habit (from where I
don't know).
if($condition){
do this
}else{
# oops, $condition didn't exist
}
saves a hell of alot of time when going back through the code 6 months later
trying to remember what was being done where. personal opinion mind you
