Use an indent of 4 spaces, with no tabs. If you use Emacs to edit PEAR
code, you should set indent-tabs-mode to nil. Here is an example mode
hook that will set up Emacs according to these guidelines (you will
need to ensure that it is called when you are editing PHP files):
| (defun php-mode-hook ()
(setq tab-width 4
c-basic-offset 4
c-hanging-comment-ender-p nil
indent-tabs-mode
(not
(and (string-match "/\(PEAR\|pear\)/" (buffer-file-name))
(string-match "\.php$" (buffer-file-name)))))) |
Here are vim rules for the same thing:
| set expandtab
set shiftwidth=4
set softtabstop=4
set tabstop=4 |
It is recommended that you break lines at approximately 75-85 characters.
There is no standard rule for the best way to break a line, use your
judgment and when in doubt, ask on the PEAR QA mailing list.
