i don't care about either of them caring. ;^) i care that when i have a
problem i can't debug, i can look at the output via source and spot it from
there.

i don't indent with a tab...just two spaces. however, if you have php code
mingled with php code, having the space indentions helps you know where
you're at even still. but that could just be me.

php is a peripheral language for me as well. as i am not actually reading a
' or a ", i don't find it more or less difficult to read what each encases.
