Unfortunately, commenting out the first entry brings you back to the
same problem of commenting out the last entry in the event trailing
commas weren't supported. You've merely reversed the problem...
unnecessarily so ;)
Personally, I use two styles of long parameters in my code (I still try
to write code to 78 characters wide). If a single line drop will suffice
I do the following:
functionWithLotsOfParams(
$param1, $param2, $param3, $param4, $param5, $param6 );
If I would still get wrapping, then I use a block style:
functionWithFarToManyParamsOrLongVariableNames
(
$param1, $param2, $param3, $param4, $param5, $param6,
$param7, $param8, $param9, $paramA, $paramB, $paramC
);
Unlike array declarations, it's unlikely the parameter count will change
often :)
Cheers,
Rob.
Ps. Please Tedd... don't show an example using your weird ass
indentation style -- it makes me shudder that I might ever have to
maintain someone's code that follows your style ;)
