I would like advice on making my code more elegant and straightforward. The code works great, but it lacks these things.

Yep not bad certainly seen worse

  • Try to keep your spacing consistant for example you do for() but foreach () one or the other
  • Doing this } else $image_ret = 0; is generally bad for readability / good code try to either use full if () { } else { } with the results of the if on separate lines or use ternary's where possible.
  • Try to segment off your process code from your display code so put your process code in functions/methods etc and have those accept the inputs and spit back vars then have your display side of things prepare the html and put your output into it. Ignore people telling you to use frameworks as they're all generally horrible anyway. Better off learning to write better code yourself and if required use something like twig for layout.

  • \$\begingroup\$ Frameworks are a good way of learning design patterns. I've never worked with one in a large scale project so I can't recommend their use but I do highly recommend looking over them for inspiration. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Dec 2, 2013 at 3:42

It's not too bad.

  • First, make sure your indentation is always correct, eg. in your last if and your last foreach.
  • Second, never store passwords in your main source file! They should go in a file that is not version-controlled and only contains the login informations.
  • Last, you need to learn about separation of concerns: modern PHP code does not output HTML in the main logic functions: you should first prepare the data, then another function or class will output it. Learning to use a PHP framework is the best way to use those best practices.
