Everyone has a coding style, and hates everyone else's If you want to send some mods for HCL please send them in the style I use with is shown below! # Variables.. All variables have a main variable and a sub variable to make them easier to identify. example.. $FOO_bar The reason i do this is because I dont want to have long variable names or ones that are hard to understand e.g if i were to have two email addresses, an admin and a user one instead of having $adminsemail $usersemail I would use $ADMIN_email $USER_email This also applies to all other info such as name, website etc so that it does not get confused. # Formatting.. I have 2 space indents and 8 space indents.. tabbing is much easier! No white space! whats the point? it just makes your files bigger! White space is only used between 'equals' signs. example, dont use.. if ( $foo == $bar ) { use this.. if($foo == $bar){ # Braces.. All starting braces, {, must appear on the same line as the function or if statement etc. Else statements must be on the same line as the closing brace. example.. if($foo == $bar){ echo($foo); }else{ echo($bar); }
