Best Practices-- What the heck does that mean? One definition returned by Google reads "processes and activities that have been shown in practice to be the most effective." What does that mean to you? These are things that work so use them! And while I will be discussing PHP specifically, these can be used in ANY programming language. These simple guidelines will help make your scripts easier to read and understand (to you and the next guy), have fewer bugs and save you time. I guess the better question is why AREN'T you already using them?
*Note: This is in no way a definitive listing but it should get you going.
