I use my own standards. every web page I have has two pages to it. the first is located in the root folder for easy navigation, it contains the template code with a session start at the top (even if that page does not use a session) and then it include the content of the page. The code for the content goes in a descriptive folder for instance all forum components would go in a folder called forum, each content doc that uses a DB includes php file wich resides in the root folder and contains all the Db conection information.

at the top of every page is a code block that looks like this:

/*

I also use the three spacing system to keep my code formated

<table>

   <tr>

      <td>

         everything has 3 spaces from the last thing

         <br />

          yep

      </td>

   </tr>

</table>

Not verry good standards but it keeps my stuff organised enuph for me to find it quikly

EDIT:
oh and my naming standards are like this

content: ForumInput.php
actual page:forum_input.php
(smae names diffrent way of typing them)

I tend to use UpperCamelCase and lowerCamelCase. I'm pretty fond of the standard in The Elements of C++ Style

[BlaineSch]

I tab one everytime I am in a child of a {} I never have anything after those 2 characters.

I believe I learned this without really realizing it. Most examples looked like that and I just started doing it.

if() {
	hello();
	hi();
	while() {
		echo();
	}
}
yes();

It looks nice to me. My teacher made me do it different a few times before but I never liked it.

Just like Winged I use UpperCamelCase and lowerCamelCase and use tabs wherever there is a loop or an if statement

Jordan said:

That is great for Variable names and functions, but what about constants, static variables, classes, function/method {}, etc?

Same as variable names. I don't use underscores though.

[WingedPanther]

The Elements of C++ Style has a wide variety of suggestions. Some examples:
96. Avoid the use of Friend Declarations
156. Manage Resources With RAII For Exception Safety
175. Do not put Global-Scope "using" or "using namespace" Declarations in a Header File

Yes, I've developed my own set of standards. I don't really think it is important which standard you use as long as you consistently use that standard.

[BlaineSch]

There are some standards I have not considered. I figured standards strictly meant how you code which I suppose it still does. Is there a list of some of these somewhere? I do believe I use the same format for everything I do but I have not written them down.

[WingedPanther]

There are several for Delphi :) Google will pull them up, but they tend to be somewhat Delphi-specific.

[BlaineSch]

I do not know Delphi, what is it used for?
