Rules/synthax for writing php code?

[apenster]

What lay-out do you apply to your php code? For example, do you use
function bla() {
echo "😃";
}

or
function bla()
{
echo "😃";
}

and when to use tabs? And similar questions...

What I mean, is basically if any of you follow certain rules and is there a place I can find them?

My suggestion would be to use whatever seems logical to you, but BE CONSISTENT with it. Keep in mind that you want others to be able to read your code later. There are few things that drive me crazier than to have to start by re-formatting somebody's inconsistent coding style before I can even make sense of it.

Oh, FWIW this is the style I use:

function bla() {
    echo "";
}

as stated its really just personal choice as long as your consistant. i do believe pear have coding standards if your looking to follow a particular style.
