Style 1.1: Use proper indenting<\/p>\n

while ($x < $z) {    if ($a == 1)    {       echo 'A was equal to 1';  }   else    {       if ($b == 2)        {           \/\/do something      }       else        {           \/\/do something else     }   }}<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
1.2
while ($x < $z) { if ($a == 1) {      echo 'A was equal to 1';  } else {        if ($b == 2) {          \/\/do something      } else {            \/\/do something else     }   }}<\/pre>\n
Style 2.1: Properly indent conditional statements. Always use braces, it will make later additions of more statements easier.<\/p>\n
while ($x < $z) {   if ($a == 1)    {       echo 'A was equal to 1';  }   else    {       if ($b == 2)        {           \/\/do something      }       else        {           \/\/do something else     }   }}<\/pre>\n
Style 2.2<\/p>\n
while ($x < $z) {   if ($a == 1) {      echo 'A was equal to 1';  } else {        if ($b == 2) {          \/\/do something      } else {            \/\/do something else     }   }}<\/pre>\n
3.1 Function Calls 
No space between function names and parenthesis.<\/p>\n
   $var = myFunction($x, $y);<\/pre>\n
3.2 Function declarations<\/p>\n
Use braces properly, give meaningful names to the parameters, always return values from functions. Avoid printing\/echoing inside functions.<\/p>\n
function myFunction($province, $city = ''){   \/\/indent all code inside here   return $result;}   <\/pre>\n
4. Use comments before a function. Also, use comments before a block [especially if it uses some difficult to understand logic]use PHPDoc style comments that may work like Javadoc to create documentation from your source files<\/p>\n
\/** *  short description of function * *   Optional more detailed description. * * @param $paramName - type - brief purpose *  @param ... *    ... *   @return type and description *\/<\/pre>\n
5. Use include_once or require_once instead of include or require to include a file that contains common variables, functions, classes.
6. Php tags:  always use<\/p>\n
  <\/pre>\n
instead of<\/p>\n
  <\/pre>\n
7. to enclose strings use single quote ‘ ‘ rather than double quotes ”  “. Try to use . to concate string variables. You can use double quote and put variables inside.<\/p>\n
 $associative_array['name']; $var='My String';   $var2='Very... long... string... ' . $var . ' ...more string... ';  $sql=\"INSERT INTO mytable (field) VALUES ('$var')\";<\/pre>\n
8. Follow some conventions for variable and function names<\/p>\n
