dr_lucas Posted November 27, 2012 Posted November 27, 2012 As time passed - I got my osC php files' code styling all messed up and was wondering which auto-formatter/beautifier and/or rules and/or program were used to format the original osCommerce PHP files. (MS2.2 RC2a version in my case, although I believe they are the same formatting like the other versions) I am looking for the same exact styling used, in order to make it easier to work, compare and modify the code with contributions and other reasons. The closest I could find was K&R styling (for example: http://beta.phpformatter.com/), but it's still not the same and not giving me the same indents (among other issues) like the original/unmodified osC files. Does anyone know? Thanks a lot in advance! :) Did I help you? Click "Like" or "Thanks"!

♥mommaroodles Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 Fairly old post this, but I've been searching for the same thing for ages - I wonder what everyone else is using - the online tools seem to mess everything even more "The doorstep to the temple of wisdom is a knowledge of our own ignorance."
♥bruyndoncx Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 I know I've used this online one in the past http://beta.phpformatter.com/ but it supports lots of different settings KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON I do not use the responsive bootstrap version since i coded my responsive version earlier, but i have bought every 28d of code package to support burts effort and keep this forum alive (albeit more like on life support). So if you are still here ? What are you waiting for ?! Find the most frequent unique errors to fix: grep "PHP" php_error_log.txt | sed "s/^.* PHP/PHP/g" |grep "line" |sort | uniq -c | sort -r > counterrors.txt
♥GLWalker Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 Most editors will have some sort of balance brackets tool, which usually works well with HTML tags, and can provide a starting point for doing it by hand. I used to use Rapid PHP which was really good at this, but after switching O.S. systems that software is no longer a choice. I now do it all by hand. I believe osC goes by the standard of 2 spaces, but I perfer to tab indent. It may seem cumbersome, but I find myself doing it anytime I have a page open and the code is not balanced. It actually becomes habitual after a while. Better than smoking crack for sure. Follow the community build: BS3 to osCommerce Responsive from the Get Go!

♥mommaroodles Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 @ I got so fed up today with searching for a decent code formatter that I landed up purchasing PHPDesigner 8 - absolutely marvellous and I've downloaded the trial version of PHPEdit which is awesome, -a bit of a learning curve involved but I'm gonna try it for the month and I may very well buy that too.

♥kymation Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 Eclipse has a good formatter built in. It's fairly close to the osCommerce standard, and you can tweak the settings if you want. The built-in PHP validator is also very useful for finding my bone-headed typos.It's free/open source as well. Regards Jim See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support.
dr_lucas Posted September 29, 2013 Author Posted September 29, 2013 Yeah, there are many formatters that are *fairly close*, but close is not enough as I am looking for the *exact* style to be able to easily use File comparison apps when modifying the code... Hopefully hpdl or one of the osC team can shed some light on this topic... Did I help you? Click "Like" or "Thanks"!

♥mommaroodles Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 @@kymation I actually downloaded the trial of Eclipse yesterday and ran it - but unless I'm missing something - to me it appeared to be more for Java than PHP so I landedup uninstalling it again.

♥kymation Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 Eclipse has a lot of plugins for various languages. A search for PHP Eclipse should get you a pre-installed version suitable for your OS. You can also install modules from inside Eclipse using the Help >> Install New Software menu. Eclipse is very powerful, but the learning curve is steep. Just setting the Preferences is a pain. Expect to spend some time with on-line tutorials to learn it properly. Regards Jim See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support.
