1) Format your code so that we can read it. Please!
|
||||
2) Use tabs for formating. NOT SPACES. Tabs creates smaller files and editors allow developers to view a tab as however many spaces as they prefer. Spaces do not allow this.
|
||||
3) Use ' instead of " for strings. This is a performance issue, and prevents alot of inconsistant coding styles.
|
||||
4) Comments go on the line ABOVE the code. NOT to the left of the code!
|
||||
5) For each section of code put a section divider with basic explaination of the following code/functions.
|
||||
It should look like this:
|
||||
/****************************************************************************\
|
||||
* These functions are used to pick my nose *
|
||||
\****************************************************************************/
|
||||
|
||||
6) Do not document every bit of code in comments. PHP is an interpreted language and it will be nasty on performance
|
||||
|
||||
7) Use switch statements where many elseif's are going to be used. Switch is faster and I like it better!
|
||||
8) If statement formats
|
||||
Choice 1:
|
||||
if ($var == 'example'){
|
||||
echo 'This is only an example';
|
||||
}else{
|
||||
echo 'This is not a test. This is the real thing';
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
Choice 2:
|
||||
if ($var == 'example'){ echo 'An example'; }
|
||||
|
||||
(I prefer that choice 2 should not be used when there is an else involved.)
|
||||
All other styles are not to be used. This is it. Use it or I will personally come and nag you to death.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
9) class/function format
|
||||
class testing
|
||||
{
|
||||
function print_to_screen() {
|
||||
global phpgw, phpgw_info;
|
||||
if ($var == 'example'){
|
||||
echo 'This is only an example';
|
||||
}else{
|
||||
echo 'This is not a test. This is the real thing';
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
Notice that when defining a class we break from the norm (putting } on same line as statement) and move the { to the next line. Dont ask me why, but this is what I/we do.
|
||||
|
||||
This is all I have got for now.
