Now I see. I'm just visually separated the logical tokens, thus they can be parametrized in one of the next steps.

As for the Coding Standard:

"The Symfony2 coding standards forces you to not add extra spaces before and after the concat operator."

This statement is false.

The written document (http://symfony.com/doc/2.0/contributing/code/standards.html) has the authority here, and it states clearly:

"Add a single space around operators (==, &&, ...);"

No exception is mentioned for the concatenation operator, thus the rule is valid for it, too. And this is of course good so.

Zend, Doctrine, Drupal (excerpts and links above) use spaced-dot.

So, if you ask me to change this, you ask me to violate the Symfony2 coding standards (and the general php coding standards).
