 - Avoid cuddled else: (} else {)

 - Separate keywords with blanks

 - Don't seperate functions/variables with blanks

Instead of

<example>

if($foo)

{

myfunction ($bar)

} else {

$counter [$i]++;

}

</example>

use:

<example>

if ($foo) {

myfunction($bar);

}

else {

$counter[$i]++;

}

</example>
