The top one looks better, and would look even better if you lined up your equal signs *tsktsk*

Lining up equal signs doesn't look cool if you ask me. I agree that the top one looks better in that case though. I only use with when I have to change more than 4 or 5 things.

I'm too lazy to press my space bar that many times. Another thing that I like about using with() is when there are really long object names. I try as hard as possible not make the horizontal scrollbar appear... but, I do that with everything.

Tab key adds 2 spaces, and I don't think long object names are an excuse. You could just do something like this:

PHP Code:

temp.obj = PrettyDamnLongObjectNameHere;
temp.obj.doStuff();

Not when the object stuff is already nested four, five, six, etc. times. The horizontal scrollbar is a personal challenge. I usually lose though... but when I do, I resize the window and it's like it never happened. /I'm crazy. I have mild symmetry compulsions. :'(

Besides, there are no excuses. Using with() is all about personal preference. Same about lining up equal signs.

Preference or not, it is what is generally taught as standard coding practices in computer science.

I have never taken a computer science class in my life. I'm self-taught.

And it shows in your TERRIBLE coding preferences

I wish I had taken computer science courses so that I could be cool like you and line up my equal signs.

Never been taught to me before... and even if you have been taught that it may only be that fact that you had some cracked old professor.

Computer science is no more about aligning equals signs than astronomy is, uh, about having those nice little bronze ornaments on your telescopes.
