Introduction

Coding standards should be chosen, not argued about.

We have the responsibility to ensure consistency across the project, which is the primary goal behind establishing a set of guidelines for development.

Not many PHP projects have been undertaken under the Mozilla umbrella. There is no precedent for PHP, so it is in our best interests to choose a widely accepted standard for PHP programming.

By choosing a widely accepted PHP standard, we take a step in the right direction regarding readability, extensibility, ease of development, etc. Most people in the PHP community will be familiar with the syntax, making future developers feel 'at home' when they jump on board.
