 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'){

 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.
