for all of you who don’t know, PHP FIG (Framework Interoperability
Group,http://www.php-fig.org/) discusses ways frameworks and libraries can work
together and integrate much easier. Current PSRs are PSR-0 to standardize
autoloading, PSR-1 and PSR-2 that deal with coding styles. All three are great
initiatives so far in bridging gaps between projects and making the PHP
ecosystem, well, rounder.
Well I'm already classed as a dinosaur, but I have been requesting a guide to
writing code these days, however some of the MUST elements of PSR-2 are totally
opposite to the style guide that I have worked with for years and I see no point
in arbitrary having to restyle 10+ years of code. Trying to restyle for e_strict
is bad enough.
As an example ...
"Code MUST use 4 spaces for indenting, not tabs."
WHY - tab's has been the standard for all my C/C++ code and every other language
and is automatically tidied up to that format by my editor. When did a switch of
this 'rule' come in? Or is there a plan to switch all of the core code base to
follow the same rule? ;)
At the end of the day PHP FIG is simply an example of one style of working. It
is perhaps the style that many developments in core are following as well? But
it not the only way of working? Personally I prefer to avoid 'magic loading of
files' and stick with specifying what files are load and from where. Avoids
problems with different distributions changing the rules themselves! I see no
hope of promoting a 'flat platform' staring point, since each distribution loves
to promote it's own style of working, and running PHP on top of THEIR version of
the world makes some standards academic? Where ARE files loaded tends to be the
first problem when debugging a new distribution :(
