# Стандарт Написання PHP Коду в Zend Framework

## Огляд

### Сфера застосування

Цей документ подає вказівки щодо написання коду для розробників та команд які роблять свій вклад в розробку Zend Framework. Теми що висвітлюються:

- Форматування PHP Файлів

- Принципи Іменування

- Стиль Написання Коду

- Вбудована Документація

### Цілі

Дотримання стандартів написання коду є важливим для будь якого проекту, зокрема коли над одним проектом працюють кілька розробників. Наявність стандартів написання коду забезпечує високу якість останнього, меншу кількість помилок, та легкий супровід.

## Форматування PHP Файлів

### Загальні Положення

Не дозволено ставити тег ("?>") для файлів що містять виключно PHP код. Закриваючий тег необовязковий для PHP а його відсутність допомагає уникнути випадкового передчасного старту виведення, спричиненого пробілами та іншими символами після закриваючого тегу.

ВАЖЛИВО: Inclusion of arbitrary binary data as permitted by `__HALT_COMPILER()` is prohibited from any Zend framework PHP file or files derived from them. Use of this feature is only permitted for special installation scripts.

### Indentation

Use an indent of 4 spaces, with no tabs.

### Maximum Line Length

The target line length is 80 characters, i.e. developers should aim keep code as close to the 80-column boundary as is practical. However, longer lines are acceptable. The maximum length of any line of PHP code is 120 characters.

### Line Termination

Line termination is the standard way for Unix text files. Lines must end only with a linefeed (LF). Linefeeds are represented as ordinal 10, or hexadecimal 0x0A.

Do not use carriage returns (CR) like Macintosh computers (0x0D).

Do not use the carriage return/linefeed combination (CRLF) as Windows computers (0x0D, 0x0A).

## Naming Conventions

### Classes

Zend Framework employs a class naming convention whereby the names of the classes directly map to the directories in which they are stored. The root level directory of Zend Framework is the "Zend/" directory, under which all classes are stored hierarchially.

Class names may only contain alphanumeric characters. Numbers are permitted in class names but are discouraged. Underscores are only permitted in place of the path separator -- the filename "Zend/Db/Table.php" must map to the class name "Zend_Db_Table".

If a class name is comprised of more than one word, the first letter of each new word must be capitalized. Successive capitalized letters are not allowed, e.g. a class "Zend_PDF" is not allowed while "Zend_Pdf" is acceptable.

Zend Framework classes that are authored by Zend or one of the participating partner companies and distributed with the Framework must always start with "Zend_" and must be stored under the "Zend/" directory hierarchy accordingly.

These are examples of acceptable names for classes:

    Zend_Db

    Zend_View

    Zend_View_Helper

IMPORTANT: Code that operates with the framework but is not part of the framework, e.g. code written by a framework end-user and not Zend or one of the framework's partner companies, must never start with "Zend_".

### Interfaces

Interface classes must follow the same conventions as other classes (see above), however must end with the word "Interface", such as in these examples:

    Zend_Log_Adapter_Interface
    Zend_Controller_Dispatcher_Interface

### Filenames

For all other files, only alphanumeric characters, underscores, and the dash character ("-") are permitted. Spaces are prohibited.

Any file that contains any PHP code must end with the extension ".php". These examples show the acceptable filenames for containing the class names from the examples in the section above:

    Zend/Db.php

    Zend/Controller/Front.php

    Zend/View/Helper/FormRadio.php

File names must follow the mapping to class names described above.

### Functions and Methods

Function names may only contain alphanumeric characters. Underscores are not permitted. Numbers are permitted in function names but are discouraged.

Function names must always start with a lowercase letter. When a function name consists of more than one word, the first letter of each new word must be capitalized. This is commonly called "camelCase" formatting.

Verbosity is encouraged. Function names should be as verbose as is practical to enhance the understandability of code.

These are examples of acceptable names for functions:

    filterInput()

    getElementById()

    widgetFactory()

For object-oriented programming, accessors for objects should always be prefixed with either "get" or "set". When using design patterns, such as the singleton or factory patterns, the name of the method should contain the pattern name where practical to make the pattern more readily recognizable.

For methods on objects that are declared with the "private" or "protected" construct, the first character of the variable name must be a single underscore. This is the only acceptable usage of an underscore in a method name. Methods declared "public" may never start with an underscore.

Functions in the global scope ("floating functions") are permitted but discouraged. It is recommended that these functions should be wrapped in a static class.

### Variables

Variable names may only contain alphanumeric characters. Underscores are not permitted. Numbers are permitted in variable names but are discouraged.

For class member variables that are declared with the "private" or "protected" construct, the first character of the variable name must be a single underscore. This is the only acceptable usage of an underscore in a variable name. Member variables declared "public" may never start with an underscore.

Like function names (see section 3.3, above) variable names must always start with a lowercase letter and follow the "camelCaps" capitalization convention.

Verbosity is encouraged. Variables should always be as verbose as practical. Terse variable names such as "$i" and "$n" are discouraged for anything other than the smallest loop contexts. If a loop contains more than 20 lines of code, the variables for the indices need to have more descriptive names.

### Constants

Constants may contain both alphanumeric characters and the underscore. Numbers are permitted in constant names.

Constants must always have all letters capitalized.

To enhance readablity, words in constant names must be separated by underscore characters. For example, `EMBED_SUPPRESS_EMBED_EXCEPTION` is permitted but `EMBED_SUPPRESSEMBEDEXCEPTION` is not.

Constants must be defined as class members by using the "const" construct. Defining constants in the global scope with "define" is permitted but discouraged.

## Coding Style

### PHP Code Demarcation

PHP code must always be delimited by the full-form, standard PHP tags:

    <?php

    ?>

Short tags are never allowed. For files containing only PHP code, the closing tag must always be omitted (See ).

### Strings

#### String Literals

When a string is literal (contains no variable substitutions), the apostrophe or "single quote" must always used to demarcate the string:

    $a = 'Example String';

#### String Literals Containing Apostrophes

When a literal string itself contains apostrophes, it is permitted to demarcate the string with quotation marks or "double quotes". This is especially encouraged for SQL statements:

    $sql = "SELECT `id`, `name` from `people` WHERE `name`='Fred' OR `name`='Susan'";

The above syntax is preferred over escaping apostrophes.

#### Variable Substitution

Variable substitution is permitted using either of these two forms:

    $greeting = "Hello $name, welcome back!";

    $greeting = "Hello {$name}, welcome back!";

For consistency, this form is not permitted:

    $greeting = "Hello ${name}, welcome back!";

#### String Concatenation

Strings may be concatenated using the "." operator. A space must always be added before and after the "." operator to improve readability:

    $company = 'Zend' . ' ' . 'Technologies';

When concatenating strings with the "." operator, it is permitted to break the statement into multiple lines to improve readability. In these cases, each successive line should be padded with whitespace such that the "."; operator is aligned under the "=" operator:

    $sql = "SELECT `id`, `name` FROM `people` "
         . "WHERE `name` = 'Susan' "
         . "ORDER BY `name` ASC ";

### Arrays

#### Numerically Indexed Arrays

Negative numbers are not permitted as indices.

An indexed array may be started with any non-negative number, however this is discouraged and it is recommended that all arrays have a base index of 0.

When declaring indexed arrays with the `array` construct, a trailing space must be added after each comma delimiter to improve readability:

    $sampleArray = array(1, 2, 3, 'Zend', 'Studio');

It is also permitted to declare multiline indexed arrays using the "array" construct. In this case, each successive line must be padded with spaces such that beginning of each line aligns as shown below:

    $sampleArray = array(1, 2, 3, 'Zend', 'Studio',
                         $a, $b, $c,
                         56.44, $d, 500);

#### Associative Arrays

When declaring associative arrays with the `array` construct, it is encouraged to break the statement into multiple lines. In this case, each successive line must be padded with whitespace such that both the keys and the values are aligned:

    $sampleArray = array('firstKey'  => 'firstValue',
                         'secondKey' => 'secondValue');

### Classes

#### Class Declaration

Classes must be named by following the naming conventions.

The brace is always written on the line underneath the class name ("one true brace" form).

Every class must have a documentation block that conforms to the PHPDocumentor standard.

Any code within a class must be indented four spaces.

Only one class is permitted per PHP file.

Placing additional code in a class file is permitted but discouraged. In these files, two blank lines must separate the class from any additional PHP code in the file.

This is an example of an acceptable class declaration:

    /**
     * Documentation Block Here
     */
    class SampleClass
    {
        // entire content of class
        // must be indented four spaces
    }

#### Class Member Variables

Member variables must be named by following the variable naming conventions.

Any variables declared in a class must be listed at the top of the class, prior to declaring any methods.

The `var` construct is not permitted. Member variables always declare their visibility by using one of the `private`, `protected`, or `public` constructs. Accessing member variables directly by making them public is permitted but discouraged in favor of accessor methods (set/get).

### Functions and Methods

#### Function and Method Declaration

Functions must be named by following the naming conventions.

Methods inside classes must always declare their visibility by using one of the `private`, `protected`, or `public` constructs.

Like classes, the brace is always written on the line underneath the function name ("one true brace" form).

There is no space between the function name and the opening parenthesis for the arguments.

Functions in the global scope are strongly discouraged.

This is an example of an acceptable function declaration in a class:

    /**
     * Documentation Block Here
     */
    class Foo
    {
        /**
         * Documentation Block Here
         */
        public function bar()
        {
            // entire content of function
            // must be indented four spaces
        }
    }

NOTE: Pass-by-reference is permitted in the function declaration only:

    /**
     * Documentation Block Here
     */
    class Foo
    {
        /**
         * Documentation Block Here
         */
        public function bar(&$baz)
        {}
    }

Call-time pass-by-reference is prohibited.

The return value must not be enclosed in parentheses. This can hinder readability and can also break code if a method is later changed to return by reference.

    /**
     * Documentation Block Here
     */
    class Foo
    {
        /**
         * WRONG
         */
        public function bar()
        {
            return($this->bar);
        }

        /**
         * RIGHT
         */
        public function bar()
        {
            return $this->bar;
        }
    }

#### Function and Method Usage

Function arguments are separated by a single trailing space after the comma delimiter. This is an example of an acceptable function call for a function that takes three arguments:

    threeArguments(1, 2, 3);

Call-time pass-by-reference is prohibited. See the function declarations section for the proper way to pass function arguments by-reference.

For functions whose arguments permit arrays, the function call may include the "array" construct and can be split into multiple lines to improve readability. In these cases, the standards for writing arrays still apply:

    threeArguments(array(1, 2, 3), 2, 3);

    threeArguments(array(1, 2, 3, 'Zend', 'Studio',
                         $a, $b, $c,
                         56.44, $d, 500), 2, 3);

### Control Statements

#### If / Else / Elseif

Control statements based on the `if` and `elseif` constructs must have a single space before the opening parenthesis of the conditional, and a single space after the closing parenthesis.

Within the conditional statements between the parentheses, operators must be separated by spaces for readability. Inner parentheses are encouraged to improve logical grouping of larger conditionals.

The opening brace is written on the same line as the conditional statement. The closing brace is always written on its own line. Any content within the braces must be indented four spaces.

    if ($a != 2) {
        $a = 2;
    }

For "if" statements that include "elseif" or "else", the formatting conventions are as shown in the following examples:

    if ($a != 2) {
        $a = 2;
    } else {
        $a = 7;
    }

    if ($a != 2) {
        $a = 2;
    } elseif ($a == 3) {
        $a = 4;
    } else {
        $a = 7;
    }

PHP allows for these statements to be written without braces in some circumstances. The coding standard makes no differentiation and all "if", "elseif" or "else" statements must use braces.

Use of the "elseif" construct is permitted but highly discouraged in favor of the "else if" combination.

#### Switch

Control statements written with the "switch" construct must have a single space before the opening parenthesis of the conditional statement, and also a single space after the closing parenthesis.

All content within the "switch" statement must be indented four spaces. Content under each "case" statement must be indented an additional four spaces.

    switch ($numPeople) {
        case 1:
            break;

        case 2:
            break;

        default:
            break;
    }

The construct `default` may never be omitted from a `switch` statement.

NOTE: It is sometimes useful to write a `case` statement which falls through to the next case by not including a `break` or `return` in that case. To distinguish these cases from bugs, any `case` statement where `break` or `return` are omitted must contain the comment "// break intentionally omitted".

### Inline Documentation

#### Documentation Format

All documentation blocks ("docblocks") must be compatible with the phpDocumentor format. Describing the phpDocumentor format is beyond the scope of this document. For more information, visit: http://phpdoc.org/

All source code files written for Zend Framework or that operate with the framework must contain a "file-level" docblock at the top of each file and a "class-level" docblock immediately above each class. Below are examples of such docblocks.

#### Files

Every file that contains PHP code must have a header block at the top of the file that contains these phpDocumentor tags at a minimum:

    /**
     * Short description for file
     *
     * Long description for file (if any)...
     *
     * LICENSE: Some license information
     *
     * @copyright  2005 Zend Technologies
     * @license    http://www.zend.com/license/3_0.txt   PHP License 3.0
     * @version    $Id:$
     * @link       http://dev.zend.com/package/PackageName
     * @since      File available since Release 1.2.0
    */

#### Classes

Every class must have a docblock that contains these phpDocumentor tags at a minimum:

    /**
     * Short description for class
     *
     * Long description for class (if any)...
     *
     * @copyright  2005 Zend Technologies
     * @license    http://www.zend.com/license/3_0.txt   PHP License 3.0
     * @version    Release: @package_version@
     * @link       http://dev.zend.com/package/PackageName
     * @since      Class available since Release 1.2.0
     * @deprecated Class deprecated in Release 2.0.0
     */

#### Functions

Every function, including object methods, must have a docblock that contains at a minimum:

- A description of the function

- All of the arguments

- All of the possible return values

It is not necessary to use the "@access" tag because the access level is already known from the "public", "private", or "protected" construct used to declare the function.

If a function/method may throw an exception, use @throws:

    @throws exceptionclass [description]
