PHP Code and Linefeeds/Carriage Returns

Question

Hi,

Just wondering, would the following code arrangement cause any issues when calling mysql_connect, i.e.:

public function connect() {
    mysql_connect($this->host,
                  $this->username,
                  $this->password)
        or die("Could not connect. " . mysql_error());

or does it need to be all on one line, i.e.:

mysql_connect($this->host,$this->username,$this->password) or die("Could not connect. " . mysql_error());

Thanks.

Answer 1

no, whitespaces are ignored in php as they are in almost every other language (python being a special case, but you can still split lines in python)

Answer 2

Whitespace (which in this case includes newlines) between tokens is irrelevant. You could even make it look like this if you wanted

public
function
connect
(
)
{
mysql_connect
(
$this
->
host
,
$this
->
username
,
$this
->
password
)
or
die
(
"could not connect. "
.
mysql_error
(
)
)
;
}
