1.2.736. Multiple Property Declaration On One Line

Multiple properties are defined on the same line. They could be defined independently, on separate expressions.

Keeping properties separate helps documenting and refactoring them independently.

<?php

// multiple definition on one expression
class point {
    private $x, $y, $z;

    // more code
}

// one line, one definition
class point2 {
    private $x;

    private $y;

    private $z;

    // more code
}

?>
