It has. But how should I distinguish if I edit my personal PHP file which has a different coding standard or if it's a PEAR file? There is no obvious mark which tells that. > I think that i doesn't matter if you're writing PHP PEAR code or just > 'normal' PHP code. I write my code with TAB's instead of Spaces. PEAR standard is spaces. So, actually, it does matter. > Or do you VIM users use for each file different options? As you see my personal preference is different from the PEAR coding standard. This, however, does not only apply to PEAR but code in gerneal. See the C source code of PHP. Every programmer has his own, personal, preference. Yet the goal is to have a code which does not switch between coding styles. This is achieved by putting special commands for the different editors in comments or whereever they fit best. > Or maybe you should use a editor (joe,pico,mc editor) that don't need a file specific > config line. Well, they all suck big time and are not adjustable to my personal preference. I've seen them all in my life ;) - Markus -- Please always Cc to me when replying to me on the lists.
