9 years ago +1. Cecilia, let's go over these pages tomorrow -- I can explain any abbreviations or jargon that are unfamiliar (or most of it, anyway, hopefully).
I didn't know about these standards. But since they exist, let's try to adhere to them; that way the code base will be easier for other programmers to work on.
One thing we'll need to do is estimate the amount of legacy work making the existing code obey these standards, though. Mmmmm... that might be a lot.
We should adapt a standard coding standard which will enforce the guidelines for things like file names , code-formatting, directory structure etc.
PHP officially advises the use of PSR standards. Most open source frameworks adhere to this. Other developers who would adopt this codebase after it goes open source would look for these standards in the code so they feel at home
