Once again this is totally off base. We are not discussing anything
proposed or adopted by the FIG group but how php.net can better
cooperate with this group. I urge you to stay on topic and move any
other topics to the right place.
Actually the question is perfectly valid ... why do we standardise on using TAB
in the core code, but then use spaces in the php files?
It would seem that FIG group standards have been adopted in some areas of PHP
when the real standard is something different?
I've just realised why I have been having problems with some area which USED to
use the TAB standard but which have been switched to 'spaces' instead! So what
IS the standard for file style in core code files? While ignoring white space on
comparisons does work, it also results in problems when trying to commit changes
to files which are using different white space standards.
OK - scanning a few more files it would seem that spaces are an exception
(fetch.php for example), and I've found the guideline calling for tab rather
than spaces, but does that guideline apply transparently to .php files as well?
Certainly .phpt files are consistently tabbed.
It's not the only difference that FIG are pushing which is opposite to the style
standards on the core code, so perhaps we should be lobbying them to come in
line with the documented standards?
