Hi guys

 

I have made a simple script to compliment my website and have not yet got sufficient funds for coda (feel free to buy it for me ) so wondered what simple methods you guys use to keep track of your curly brackets?

 

Thanks

Yep. Get rid of the Mac, and use Notepad++ or WeBuilder

Silly billy!

 

I use Smultron which i love - maybe there is a way there but haven't figured it out yet.....

I'm serious. Macs just hamper your creativity. They're over-priced, over-rated junk

 

Not having used a mac for development for several years, I have no constructive advice lol. Just thought I'd do a bit of early morning Mac bashing

Hah found it. Smultron highlights matching brackets or if it doesnt find any it makes a noise.

 

What does your wonderful pc do then Mr Mac Basher?

There's nothing wrong with a Mac - ignore him.

 

Anyway, use 4 spaces instead of tabs, then you can keep track by where they are.

 

<?php

class feeds
{
function __construct()
{

}

function process($data)
{
	$db = db::getSingleton();

	$map_fields = fields::getMapFields();

	// INNER FUNCTION
	function save($rows)
	{
		global $db, $map_fields;

		foreach ($rows AS $row)
		{
			$db->save($row[$map_fields]])
		}

		return true;
	}

	Parser($data, 'save');

	return true;
}
}
?>

 

See this:

 

Correctly spacing & indenting your code to make it readable

lol my PC does everything I need it to do. For a fraction of what a mac costs

There's also TextWrangler on the Mac (which is also free).

 

Notepad++ on Windows though!

Yeah tabbing lines is extremely useful (why did you say 4 spaces? as opposed to tabs? just curious?)

 

Notepad++ which is beast, but gutted you don't have a budget pc just highlights the opening and closing brackets when you put the cursor on them, amongst a million other useful features (:

tab evrerything correctly and its not an issue

Actually tabbing is an issue in Dreamweaver on Mac as it's setup to tab 8 spaces by default.

 

There's nothing wrong with having a Mac...

 

...If you can afford one...

 

and

 

...you don't get viruses!

 

For the record - I don't have a Mac, I have a Sony Vaio PC laptop.

That's more of a dreamweaver issue I guess... General web standard is to tab

You can change this though...

 

 

Solved the problem for me

 

I actually always code in DW - I never ever use the design view, but I find the coding side of it quite intuitive... also my company like me to work in DW for some reason... haha

 

But I love it

Thanks for the input guys.

 

LOL don't have dreamweaver don't intend to get it.

 

I've used dreamweaver since I was an HTML 4.0 newbie.

 

People say don't use it bla bla (Then continue to arse lick notepad++ ). But I use it purely as a text editor... Don't think design view has been clicked in 5 years.

 

I love the site management tools and the colour syntaxing (Something I know off the top of my head as I spend every day of my life staring at dreamweaver).

 

My opinion - Dreamweavers is excellent (unless your a noob and hit design view).

 

Other peoples opinion - One of them that will never get a solid answer as it's completely dow to personal opinion!

I use Notepad++. It's got everything I need/want plus more!
