Coding standards

All files have to be UTF-8 encoded, never use any other encoding.

PHP 7 and PHP 8

We're using the PSR coding standards for phpMyFAQ. You can find the definition of these coding standards here:

We use the HTML5 doctype, which is easy to remember: <!DOCTYPE html>
Two spaces for indentation, never tabs
Double quotes only, never single quotes
Always use proper indentation
Use tags and elements appropriate for an HTML5 doctype (e.g., self-closing tags)
Paragraphs of text should always be placed in a <p> tag. Never use multiple <br/> tags.
Every form input that has text attached should utilize a <label> tag, especially radio or checkbox elements.
Always put quotes around attributes for readability.

Two spaces for indentation, never tabs
Multiple-line approach (one property and value per line)
Always a space after a property's colon (.e.g, display: block; and not display:block;)
End all lines with a semi-colon
For multiple, comma-separated selectors, place each selector on it's own line
Attribute selectors, like input[type="text"] should always wrap the attribute's value in double quotes, for consistency and safety (see this blog post on unquoted attribute values that can lead to XSS attacks).
