== Why is this an issue? include::../description.adoc[] [source,php] ---- if ($x > 0) // Noncompliant doTheThing(); doTheOtherThing(); // Was the intent to call this function unconditionally? ---- It becomes even more confusing and bug-prone if lines get commented out. [source,php] ---- if ($x > 0) // Noncompliant // doTheThing(); doTheOtherThing(); // Was the intent to call this function conditionally? ---- Indentation alone or together with curly braces makes the intent clear. [source,php] ---- if ($x > 0) doTheThing(); doTheOtherThing(); // Clear intent to call this function unconditionally // or if ($x > 0) { doTheThing(); } doTheOtherThing(); // Clear intent to call this function unconditionally ---- This rule raises an issue if the line controlled by a conditional has the same indentation as the conditional and is not enclosed in curly braces. ifdef::env-github,rspecator-view[] ''' == Implementation Specification (visible only on this page) include::../message.adoc[] include::../highlighting.adoc[] ''' == Comments And Links (visible only on this page) include::../comments-and-links.adoc[] endif::env-github,rspecator-view[]
