11) Associative arrays must be written in the following manner:
$array = array(
'var' => 'value',
'var2' => 'value2'
);
OR:
$array = array
(
'var' => 'value',
'var2' => 'value2'
);
Note that tabs are preferred around the '=>'.
Note that spaces are preferred around the '=>'. This is because only tabs
on the left side are guaranteed to line up correctly using different
tabstops.
12) Use the long format for <?php. Do NOT use <?.

14) Use lower case for variable and function names. No stubbly-case (mixed-case) code.
15) Thanks for following these rules :)
15) (int)$var is preferred vs. intval($var). Also, is_int()/is_string()/is_array()
should be used instead of gettype() where possible.
16) Use the api function, copyobj($oldobject,$newobject), instead of
$newobject = $oldobject. This is for performance when using php5.
17) Try to avoid creating new objects when the api-created ones will work.
This is a performance issue. You might also be able to use copyobj() and then
call the constructor of the class if another version of the object exists
already.
18) Do not use, e.g., global $var; unless absolutely necessary. Please
consider developing with register_globals=off to understand why.
