\nOne of PHP’s greatest strengths can also be a great weakness in the wrong
\nhands. I’m talking about its forgiving nature. One of the reasons why
\nPHP has become so wildly popular is because it lets very inexperienced
\nweb developers build powerful applications without much planning, consistency,
\nor documentation.<\/div>\n
\nUnfortunately, that means an awful lot of PHP code out there is sloppy,
\nhard to read and impossible to maintain. I know because I’ve written a lot
\nof it ;-).<\/div>\n
\nTo address this and a lot of other issues, a number of the core PHP
\ndevelopers and community members got together and started the PEAR
\nProject, which stands for PHP Extension and Add-on Repository.
\nTo date, the docs and other fruit from the PEAR project have been pretty
\nsparse and difficult to follow, so this article is an attempt to shed some
\nlight on what they’re doing.<\/div>\n
\nA pretty huge part of maintainability of code is how it is formatted
\nand commented. All code throughout a given project should be formatted the same
\nway. I’m a pretty big stickler about this in the SourceForge codebase and
\nyou should be too.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
