🧩 Code Formatting & Snippet Guide – Read Before Posting

[OmAshiXX]

Why Code Formatting Matters​

Well-formatted code is easier to:

• Read
• Understand
• Debug
• Answer faster

Poor formatting = slow or wrong answers

Help the community help you.

Always Use Code Blocks​

When sharing code, never paste raw code in plain text.

✔ Correct Way (Recommended)​

Use code blocks like this:

<span><span><span>&lt;?php</span></span><span><br></span><span><span>echo</span></span><span> </span><span><span>"Hello, SayItDigital!"</span></span><span>;<br></span><span><span>?&gt;</span></span><span><br></span></span>
		

or

<span><span><span>function</span></span><span> </span><span><span>greet</span></span><span>(</span><span><span></span></span><span>) {<br>  </span><span><span>console</span></span><span>.</span><span><span>log</span></span><span>(</span><span><span>"Hello World"</span></span><span>);<br>}<br></span></span>
		

This keeps indentation, spacing, and syntax clear.

Mention the Language or Stack​

Before or above your code, always mention:

• Programming language
• Framework or library
• Version (if relevant)

Example:

Language: PHP
Framework: Laravel 10
Environment: Shared Hosting

This avoids confusion.

---

Share Only Relevant Code​

Please:

• ✔ Share only the problematic or related part
• Do NOT dump entire projects
• Do NOT upload ZIPs or screenshots of code (unless unavoidable)

Smaller snippets = faster help.

---

Explain What the Code Should Do​

Along with code, always explain:

• What the code is supposed to do
• What is actually happening
• Any error messages or warnings
• What you already tried

Context matters more than code length.

---

Never Share Sensitive Information​

Before posting, REMOVE or HIDE:

• API keys
• Passwords
• Tokens or secrets
• Database credentials

Posts exposing sensitive data may be edited or removed.

---

Screenshots (When Needed)​

Screenshots are okay only if:

• Error is visual (UI issue)
• Logs are unreadable as text

But still:

• Prefer text logs
• Blur sensitive info

---

Community Etiquette​

• Be patient while waiting for replies
• Say thanks when someone helps
• Mark solutions if your issue is solved
• Improve your post if asked

Clean posts get better answers.

---

Final Reminder​

Good formatting shows effort.
Effort earns respect and faster solutions.

Format clean. Explain clearly. Learn faster.
