Coding Conventions

WebTemplate uses the PEAR 1 coding standard (except it uses 2 spaces for indentation instead of 4). it can be found here:

• use longhand php tags <?php and ?>, not shorthand php tags <? ?>
• indent of 2 spaces, no tabs
• braces always required for conditional statements
• open brace on same line as conditional statement
  
  eg:
  
  if ($condition1) {
    doStuff();
  } else {
    doOtherStuff();
  }
• open brace on separate line to class or function definition
  eg:
  
  class ClassName
  {
    function functionName()
    {
    }
  }
• Camel Caps for class, variable and function names.
• Class begin with an uppercase letter, function and variable names begin with a lowercase letter.
• Member variables begin with m_
  eg:  m_guid
• Global variables and constants all in caps and begin with WT
• eg:  $GLOBALS["WTSITEID"]
