I vote for hard tabs - the logic of saying "I'm indenting this one
level, so I'm going to use one tab to do" that appeals to me. I think
it's also easier to transform tabs to spaces where required rather than
going from spaces to tabs - I've done some work on the copy of PHP-Nuke
we use here which was spaced... but the spacing wasn't always
consistent, which makes life difficult.

I'd be interested if anyone has any URLs to good reading material on
different bracing styles. I have been using my own idiosyncratic:

if(xxx)
   {
   ...
   }

and have recently started making use of:

if(xxx) {
   ...
}

However, I'd like to read round the subject a bit more. I have been
reading

http://utvikler.start.no/code/php_coding_standard.html 

which votes for

if(xxx)
{
   ...
}

Wulf

ps. of course, here I'm using spaces, as pressing tab in my mail client
is interpreted as 'jump to the next field'....
