Lester, please stop arguing every point here. Especially really silly stuff like this. These are not even the same languages. The main core coding standards are all about C-specific things like freeing memory, zero-terminated strings, never using strncat, macro usage, preprocessor usage, internal naming, C-commenting, K&R style stuff, testing, folding, and yes there is a single line about tabs vs. spaces which is the one thing you zeroed in on and could possibly apply to both C code and PHP code, but the fact is that the core coding standards have nothing to do with user-space PHP coding standards and were written specifically to apply to the PHP core code written in C. -Rasmus -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
