Do you follow the PSR Standards - iGeekOut - Dec 29, 2014
I've been doing PHP just over 3 weeks now and recently moved onto learning OOP and Design Patterns like MVC because when I do something I like doing it right, so I googled and found phptherightway.com
which lead me to php-fig.org so I decided to follow them and have already started to implement the best practices in projects.
So I was wondering if anyone else follows the PSR standards, and if so do you have any tips?
What I use:
Sublime Text 3
iTerm2
Vagrant LAMP Stack

I tend to pick and choose which guidelines to follow and which not to. I never had bad habits when I started coding, so the only thing that annoys me is the standard of braces on new lines for classes, methods, and functions.
example:
PHP Code
<?php
//"the right way"
class Action
{
public $lawsuit = "money";
public function GetLawsuit()
{
return $this->lawsuit;
}
}
This just looks better to me
PHP Code
<?php
class Action {
public $lawsuit = "money";
public function GetLawsuit() {
return $this->lawsuit;
}
}

As someone whose been coding PHP for a few years, I also prefer the latter, however when working on OSS or in a group/team project it's best to adhere to the project standards.

I don't mind it but that's because I am new, but if you've been coding a while you tend to pick up your own style and can be hard to change, but what I can't argue with is having an space for things like foreach and if, which adds to the readability.
PHP Code
<?php
$names = ['Nicholas Cage', 'Adam Sandler', 'Liam Neeson'];
/* PSR-2 Compliant */
foreach ($names as $name) {
// loop
}
/* Not PSR-2 Compliant */
foreach($names as $name) {
// loop
}
But if you're stuck in writing your code without complying to PSR-2 but want to, you can simply run PHP_CodeSniffer which will check your code, and in some cases fix most of your mistakes automatically and tell you the lines of the others which it can't. I use the command line version but there are plugins available.

I agree with MineSQL. I too prefer that "way" of coding as it i find it easier and the code is more tidy!

I prefer his first way to be honest, it's easier to read and a lot more "fluent" in my eyes.
