The PSR coding standards [1] have recently been approved by the PHP Framework Interop Group (ex PHP Standards Working Group) [2].
I have read the standards, they seem well constructed, and they make sense to me. PSR-0 - Deals with namespaces, so it does not affect the project at this point. PSR-1 - Sets basic coding standards. log4php code is already compliant with this standard. PSR-2 - Extends PSR-1 with much more detailed rules. log4php is currently not compliant. There are not that many changes we need to make to be compliant with PSR-2. The larger ones would be: - indent using 4 spaces (currently tabs) - opening braces for classes and methods go on the next line (currently inline) - lines must end with unix LF (currently undefined - mixed LF and CR/LF) I think a decent coding standard would be good for this project, and make any contributions easier. Therefore I propose that we adopt these standards, starting with the next release (2.3.0). I also volunteer to do the work. What say you?
