#4 Assigning and appending

[Erik Marcor Thaysen]

$sql = "SELECT journalist_id, first_name, last_name ";
$sql .= "FROM journalists j ";
$sql .= "ORDER BY department_id, last_name";

I suggest that the first line should contain 2 spaces after
$sql, i.e.:

$sql = "SELECT journalist_id, first_name, last_name ";
$sql .= "FROM journalists j ";
$sql .= "ORDER BY department_id, last_name";

Yes, this would improve the formatting.
