Hi,

A friendly reminder to our GSoC students: please refer to [0] for coding guidelines.

At least one of the students I mentor sometimes uses tab characters for indent.

Hi all,

If you are using PHP-Eclipse as your IDE you can set the tab policy to use 4 spaces. (Window menu -> Preferences -> PHP -> Code Style -> Formatter). This will use 4 spaces instead of tab character whenever you go to a new line by pressing enter. However it will not prevent tab characters set by explicitly pressing tab button. So for that you have to make it a habit to use spaces in place of tab.
