PHP Code:

function checkStyle() {
  if (this.style == true) {
    increaseAwesome();
  } else {
    decreaseAwesome();
  }
  if (noelse == true)
    omit = true;
} 


PHP Code:

function checkStyle()
{
  if (this.style)
  {
    this.increaseAwesome();
  }
    else
  {
    this.decreaseAwesome();
  }

  if (this.variable)
  {
    this.otherVariable = true;
  }
}

Leaving brackets out is hardly efficient; say you want to add something later into your conditional code block, you'll then need to add brackets which you could have just done to start with!
