This document describe about a professional standards on my own project using CakePHP. The standards is base on PSR-1 e CakePHP Coding Standards.
If you need to use, feel free.
- Directories and Files
-
To open php script tags, use
<?phpor<?=if you like to print the output. -
Use only UTF-8 without BOM for PHP code, this make your code clean of charsets problems.
-
Do not use the same file with more than one
Class. -
Class names must be declared in
StudlyCaps. -
Class constants must be declared in all upper case with underscore separators.
-
Method names must be declared in
camelCase. -
For Class file not close the php tag
?>. -
Directory names must be named in
StudleCaps. -
Document the variable, methods and classes.
-
Samples:
//filepath: Controller/PagesController.php

}- Best practices for structures. Conditions and loops.
- Use 4 (four) spaces to ident, replace on your IDE the tab for four spaces.
class ClassName {
public function nameMethod() {
//method content
}
}- Do not use the nested ternary structure.
- Use ternary only for simple conditions.
- The if, else structure must be writed using the bracket after the closing parenthesis and one space between the parenthesis and bracket.
- For else if use on same line of the closing bracked of the if separeted by one space between the ending bracked and the else instruction.
- For methods, functions and classes use the bracked after one space of the class name, or extended class, interface or traits.
//Wrong ternary
$result = $var == 1 ? 'output' : $var == 2 ? 'continue' : 'none';
//Right ternary
$isMale = ($var == 'male') ? true : false;
//In the case above prefer to use if, else structure
$result = 'none';
if($var == 1) {
$result = 'output';
} else if($var == 2) {
$result = 'continue';
}- Function must be called without spaces between the function name and the parenthesis, the spaces is only used for separete function attributes.
$result = foo(1, 2, 3);- Variables names follow the write on camelCase, except for classes instances, where you use the same name of the Class.
$PagesController = new PagesController();- Nested methods use on method by line and ident the nexts methods by one tab (4 spaces)
$ComponentName->init()
->isPost()
->params(array('url' => 'http://www.michaelmafort.com.br'))
->execute();- Comments inline use //.
- Comments multiline use /**/
//Coment inline
/*
Multiline comment
Describe your contents, todos, mistakes and jokes
(I'm joking, of your write the jokes on your code, never write this :P)
*/- Includes
If you are using CakePHP framework the includes are maked by the App static class, something like this:
//to import any file
//docs http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/core-utility-libraries/app.html#including-files-with-app-import
App::import(mixed $type = null, string $name = null, mixed $parent = true, array $search = array(), string $file = null, boolean $return = false);
//to import cakephp objects
App::uses('PostsController', 'Controller');
App::uses('AuthComponent', 'Controller/Component');
App::uses('MyModel', 'Model');
App::uses('TreeBehavior', 'Model/Behavior');
App::uses('ThemeView', 'View');
App::uses('HtmlHelper', 'View/Helper');
App::uses('PaymentProcessor', 'Lib');
App::uses('Textile', 'Vendor');
App::uses('String', 'Utility');
