[Phpmyadmin-devel] Coding standards - Line length

Hi all, Although we have chosen PEAR coding standards[1] as the coding standard for phpMyAdmin[2], there are quite a number of occasions where the standard is being violated, especially the line length recommendation. For example in display_tbl.lib.php I can see lines with 282 character while the recommended limit is 75-85[3]. However, I feel that this limit is bit too restrictive given that some lines have indentation of about 32 spaces. So I think it's better to set the limit bit leniently (at least for those files) and adhering to it rather than ignoring the line length limit altogether. Any thoughts? With things clarified all the GSoCers would be able to produce quality code during this summer. -- Thanks and Regards, Madhura Jayaratne [1] http://pear.php.net/manual/en/standards.php [2] http://wiki.phpmyadmin.net/pma/Coding_guidelines [3] http://pear.php.net/manual/en/standards.indenting.php
