Code Cleaners

So, I beleive this guy must have reviewed some ........ guys code.
I have been through such cases and it was really annoying when you are looking at the code which doesn't seems like code at all but a garbage text

http://www.decodephp.com/2007/12/19/php-code-cleaner-and-indenter/

this code cleaner is really helpful in indenting the code, do give it a shot. It really worths spending some time to explore what this gentleman have done

thanks buddy

Frameworks fall

recently, I got a chance to work on different frameworks.

Ruby on Rails
Code Igniter
Symfony etc.

I am working in Ruby On Rails since start of 2007. side by side checked the symfony and currently looking at the Code Igniter as well.
The only issue, I am looking at in the frameworks is... scalability issue
