[PEPr] Comment on RFC::Coding standard enhancements

Paul Jones (http://pear.php.net/user/pmjones) has commented on the proposal for RFC::Coding standard enhancements. Comment: I have a suggestion on the "how-to" of splitting long if() conditions. I think we should encourage that the conditions be expressed as variables, and then use those variables in the if() condition, so as to keep the condition set all on one line. Given the original example, that would translate into something like the following: $is_foo = ($condition1 || $condition2); $is_bar = ($condition3 && $condtion4); if ($is_foo && $is_bar) { // .... } This has the benefit of "naming" the condition sets so they are easier to distinguish, and splits the different condition sets into readable chunks. Doing this should greatly reduce the need for splitting if() condition sets across multiple lines.
