To enforce a valid coding style in the community!

A prettyprinter is a Software/Script that parses source-code, and outputs it again formatted as you specify/like.
For exampe, a well-known prettyprinter for HTML is HTMLTidy.

Is there one for PHP?

Wait a second. DV are you bluntly stating that you will release code that will destroy a users database. Such as post, threads, forums, ect... ?

Yap. And you may never know which one of my hacks will have the destroying code, cause from now on I am going to release all my hacks one-lined and hopefully double-encoded with ionCube and Zend.

What is torking people is that you seem to need some official title and label to do it.

I never said that I want a title. What I want is an ability to mark hack threads as either "optimized" or "not optimized"... This mark does not necessarily need to be output into HTML, but the end-users should have an option to filter out the threads with that mark, using a specially formed URL or a usercp option.

See, those who care about their board should have a right to know how safe is it to install a certain hack. They should, therefore, have an option to filter out only those hack threads that have been marked as "optimized".

I, personally, care how well my board runs and that's why I think twice before installing any hacks that have unoptimized code or queries... This is why I click "INSTALL" on so many hacks without actually installing them later. I click it just because I like the idea and would like to review the hack later and see if it is worth installing (taking into account the code).

If the majority of this community's members do not care about their board, it's either because they are end-users who do not know much about programming, because they are end-users who are obsessed with installing all different kinds of hacks on their board, or because they are coders who care only to quickly finish the code and receive the results, without actually caring how safe or right the code is. Often the latter end up in writing "2 + 2 + 4 - 1 + 10 - 1" instead of simply writing "2 + 14".

Those, who want their boards clean, should in my opinion have the opportunity to know what they are installing without having to download the hack and read through its code, esspecially if they are not programmers and for that reason simply are not able to do it...
