How do you write your code? - Page 2

Randy · 06-14-2009, 12:44 AM

I have pretty much a mix of all yours it seems:

PHP:

PHP Code:


			
if ($a == 1)

{

  if ($b == 1)

    {

        echo 'Hello world!';

    }

  else

    {

        echo 'Goodbye world!';

    }

}

HTML:

HTML Code:

<html>
<body>
	<div id="wrapper">
    	<div id="branding">
        	<a href="#">SITENAME</a>
        </div>
        
        <div id="menu">
        	<a href="#">SITENAME</a> | <a href="#">SITENAME</a> | <a href="#">SITENAME</a>
        </div>
	</div>
</body>
</html>

CSS:

Code:

#content {
    background: #000000; color: #FFFFFF;
    width: 800px; height: 500px;
}

      #content a { color: #009900; text-decoration: none; }

            #content a:hover { color: #00CC00; text-decoration: overline; }

      #content p {
           clear: both; float: right;
           width: 150px; height: 250px;
      }

#footer {
    background: #FFFFFF; color: #000000;
    width: 800px; height: 500px;
}

      }



            #content a:hover {

                  color: #00CC00;

            }



      #content p {

           clear: left;

      }



#footer {

    border: 1px solid #000000;

}

I would do

PHP Code:


			
#content { color:#FFF; }

  #content a { color:#090; }

  #content a:hover { color:#0C0; }

  #content p { clear:left; }

#footer { border:1px solid #000; }

I always keep the css to 1 line. When you start spacing them out the files get so damn long. We widescreen monitors for a reason. Use them. Also if you put the attributes in alpha order its even easier to find them. (ie border, color, float, width..)

Same thing when I am programming I would do it in the format of

PHP Code:


			
class blah 

{

  function hello

  {

    if( a == b ) { 

      echo "Question"; 

      for(x = 0; x < 10; x++) {

        x++;

        print x;

      }

    } 

  }

}

You sound really arrogant

So just a question on your "1-line-css-rules": What would you do if you have a really big CSS rule? Still on 1 line? Widescreen does have its limits, and IMO it's easier to read if it's spaced out - even if it makes the document longer.

If I came off arrogant it was not intended. But honestly not many of my css rules run more then a single line. If they do I have one hell of an instance on my case. Odds are I'm doing something wrong or I have the wrong approach. A bit of looking over can generally remove most all of my word wrap.

Also your style of HTML will alter how much CSS is needed. If you like to place every block of content in its own (div/p/span) you can space out CSS rules more, while using less (div/p/span)'s will expand each rule.

PHP Code:


			
$camelCase = 1337;



if($a == 1)

    echo "this is an one line if.";



if($a == 2)

{

    echo "this is a ";

    echo "multiple line if.";

}



function camelCase($param)

{

    echo "lower camel case for functions, upper for class names.";

}

And always (real) tabs, 2 or 4 spaces long.
