RE: [PHP] Better standards in PHP-coding

(Just got back from the weekend) Just my 2c worth IMHO, as long as the code is indented "properly", it doesn't matter where the braces are, just be consistant. Personally, I prefer to put the opening brace on a new line, but I can just as easily read other people's code when the opening brace is on the same line (as long as it's indented properly). As for indenting - I prefer using spaces and this ensures that my code will look the same in someone else's editor as it does in mine. There are people here, in the company, that use tabs and have set their tabs to be 4 spaces, I have my tabs set to 8 spaces - really plays havoc when they indent quite a distant :( Also, with one line statements, I prefer to place it on the same line as the statement that requires it (ie, function, if/else, while, do, etc). But, again, as long as the coder is constant, I find it just as readable when the statement is on a new line, surrounded by braces or not. So what I'm basically saying is - choose a style that suits you, and be _consistant_ with it - oh, and make sure you indent your code, there's nothing worse than trying to read code that's not indented, or indented all over the place!
