[PSR-12] Multiline control structures conditions

[julien...@gmail.com]

Hi.

In PSR-12, spaces are forbidden after the opening parenthesis of a control structure and before the closing one.
Does this rule apply to any spacing character, including newline?

No, not really. I guess you mean the case with long conditions you want to split into multiple lines, right?

[julien...@gmail.com]

Exactly.

PSR-2 and PSR-12 do not explicitly allow such case.
IMO the current rules are subject to interpretation: one could think newlines are forbidden as well.
I even saw some coding style tools report those as invalid.

Do you think we should update the document to remove any ambiguity?

[Alexander Makarov]

Yes, why not? Could you pull request with the changes you think are appropriate?

[julien...@gmail.com]

Sure.
