{curly brackets} versus :colons/semi-colons; in PHP
Current and former colleagues of mine, will attest to my intense hatred of poorly written code and by poorly written code I mean code that is hard to follow. In a bid to make my PHP code even more readable I’m dumping the curly brackets traditionally used with control structures (e.g. ifs, fors, switches) in favour of the colons and semi-colons of PHP’s alternative alternative syntax for control structures.
