W3 Standards?

[Anon]

Doesn anyone know of any documention on proper PHP coding guidlines? I'm writing some a tutorial on PHP for some friends, and can't find any 'official' documentation on what is correct.

The main guidline I'm looking for is sublevel spacing.
What I mean by this is when you begin an if/when/while statement, the next line of code is indented. I many different programmers. Some use 2 spaces, some use 4, and some use a tab.

What I need is documentation on what PHP is intended to have. I tried the WWW Consortium (www.w3.org), and they had nothing.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Jason

Hi
as fsr as I know there is no set standard but it's considered good form to use 4 spaces or a tab.
Have you tried the manual?
