	====== Coding Standards ======		====== Coding Standards ======
		+	* Use the [[http://pear.php.net/manual/en/standards.php\|PEAR coding standard]] (22/04/2009 - see php-qa list for concerns)
		+	* Deviation from the standard: Do not use _ prefix for private members. (Reason: too much re-work to existing code)
		+	* We prefix classnames with rt (Reason: avoid name conflicts with built-in PHP classes)
		+	* We do not follow the original PEAR class naming scheme (Reason: we use autoload and name prefixes, so we can keep classnames shorter than DIR_DIR_DIR_CLASS)
		+	* We will not include both File and Class doc blocks. (Reason: Only ever one class per file)
		+	* Don't use private, always use protected instead. (Requested by Greg)

	+	===== Parallel execution =====
	+	We are using the PCNTL extension to provide parallel execution on ix. This is not implemented on Windows. In order to make a windows implementaion possible at some stage this is the only ix specific extension we are using. In some ways this will make the code slower (we have to prapre the tests, write them to disk, run them, write the results to disk... in order to avoid using interprocess communication. This actually makes very little difference to performance because the majority of execution time is spent in running the tests.

	+
	+	===== GZIP_POST, DEFLATE_POST =====
	+	The way these are currently implemented the test has to look like this:
	+
	+	<code>
	+	--POST--
	+	Some posted content
	+
	+	--GZIP_POST--
	+	1
	+	--FILE--
	+	etc
	+	</code>
	+
	+	This isn't really necessary. In the new implementation the --GZIP_POST-- section will just contain the content to be posted and gzip'd. Same for DEFLATE_POST.
	+	This affects two tests:
	+
	+	* ext/soap/tests/server019.phpt
	+	* ext/soap/tests/server020.phpt
