These include if, for, while, switch, etc. Here is an example if
statement, since it is the most complicated of them:
<?php
if ((condition1) || (condition2)) {
action1;
} elseif ((condition3) && (condition4)) {
action2;
} else {
defaultaction;
}
?>
|
Control statements should have one space between the control keyword
and opening parenthesis, to distinguish them from function calls.
You are strongly encouraged to always use curly braces even in
situations where they are technically optional. Having them
increases readability and decreases the likelihood of logic errors
being introduced when new lines are added.
For switch statements:
<?php
switch (condition) {
case 1:
action1;
break;
case 2:
action2;
break;
default:
defaultaction;
break;
}
?>

| User Notes: |
Phil, the indentation like in your example (i.e. with 4 spaces for the "case" statements) is also accepted in the PEAR coding standards.
Note by: phil@signalz.com
I would have expected more indentation, like this
<?php
switch (condition) {
case 1:
action1;
break;
case 2:
action2;
break;
default:
defaultaction;
break;
}
?>

Might you consider adding to your current K&R format, below
...
switch (condition) {
case 1:
action1;
break;
case 2:
action2;
break;
}
...
/**/
...
switch (condition)
{
case 1:
action1;
break;
case 2:
action2;
break;
}
...
this above format that some believe to be more readable?
