But the codes in the manual are so different, as many people added code, without following any convention, so I cannot agree that reading the manual is a good example to get a sense of what standard is used there. In fact we started this discussion, because example codes and outputs differ so much in different places. > Personaly I prefer common standard, but I can also live > with both standards. I would be happy to see that standard written down, you say the PHP Manual is used to conform to, but as there is no such written down standard anywhere, IMHO we can start off to design our own standard based on the few code writing related conventions used now, and the PEAR standard, as a widely known coding standard. And yes, we need to develop our own standards, even if it is based on the PEAR coding standards, because we need some more conventions, such as example writing. What do others think about that? I think we'd better wait till the end of the Christmas and New Year period, so people come back and can reply to this mail with some added opinions... Starting to develop a standard for two or three people currently here would be pointless... Merry Christmas and a Happy new year to you Egon, and to everybody reading these mails. :) Goba
