PHP Style Guide

All rules and guidelines in this document apply to PHP files unless otherwise noted. References to PHP/HTML files can be interpreted as files that primarily contain HTML, but use PHP for templating purposes.

  1. Overview of all rules with a quick example
  2. Each rule called out with examples of do's and don'ts
