I'm not in search of a full-time job in Berlin, but still like to test my skills, so the following code hopefully gets properly displayed:

<code class="hilite-php">

<?php /* give the kid a name: Good code v1.0 */

	
/* shorthands '<?' are bad coding style;

also I like my settings at the begin of the file, not just anywhere in-between */

	
// init

$roles['andi']   = 'Developer'; /* missing quotes for the key - and no reason to use double quotes */

$roles['detlef'] = 'Boss'; /* same as above */

	
$list[] = 'Apple';

$list[] = 'Peach';

$list[] = 'Orange';

	
// alternatively we could have used $list = array('Apple', 'Peach', 'Orange');

	
?>
