Re: PEAR CS poll

Well, to me, "some text $variable some more text" is more readable :) besides try to think of SQL queries. "UPDATE table SET col1='{$value}', col2='{$val2}' ....." OR 'UPDATE table SET col1=\'' . $value . '\' col2=\'' ....... That;s ofcourse if you don't use variable replacement techniques that some DB wrappers provide. db->query('UPDATE table SET col1=\'{:1}\'........, array( $value1, $val2, .....) After all, this is a matter of personal preference, but I don't see it that way when you have a String that doesn't contain variables. -Ammar

I'm pretty sure you have to use double quotes to do variable interpolation. My point is that variable interpolation is never necessary and in, my opinion, never good idea. I think it is typically more readable to do something like: 'some text' . $variable . 'some more text' rather than: "some text $variable some more text" or even "some text {$variable} some more text" The reason? Syntax highlighting in text editors. With my method, the variable gets lit up in a different color than the text. I'd like to see this part of the CS, but that's just my preference. -ryan
