From: Jordan Jovanov on 27 Jul 2010 04:10 Hello Everybody I start to write PHP script and all veritable a defined without some rules. I want to ask to you somebody know how is correct do different some variable. Like from next three variable who is correct: $firstname $FirstName $firstName $first_name etc. I know that from this variable can work all, but i want to know how is use in company. Do you have some standard for defined the variable in program language? (like ISO9001, ISO14001) Best Regard, Jordan Jovanov
From: viraj on 27 Jul 2010 05:42 $firstName is the most readable.. for variables. does anybody have negative thoughts on using the same naming format for method/function and for class names? i guess it's worth sharing! many thanks! ~viraj On Tue, Jul 27, 2010 at 3:02 PM, Ashley Sheridan <ash(a)ashleysheridan.co.uk> wrote: > On Tue, 2010-07-27 at 10:10 +0200, Jordan Jovanov wrote: > >> Hello Everybody >> >> I start to write PHP script and all veritable a defined without some >> rules.
