From: "D. Dante Lorenso" on 19 Mar 2010 03:05 All, I want to start using PHP namespaces for my projects. Currently, I name my classes similar to how Zend Framework names theirs and I end up with classes like: LS_Util_String I'm thinking that if I converted this to namespaces, the classes would be named like: LS\Util\String I'd like to look at an example of an open source project that has already adopted namespaces as "the way to do it" and would be a good best practices case for how I should go about setting up my library namespaces. I have been playing with concepts of using a Java-like naming convention for classes and have created my own namespace like: com\larkspark\util\String And here I was thinking that packages would be lowercase and classes would be camelcase with initial caps. I'm getting ready to build a new project and wanted to do it in the future-forward style while removing legacy classes and refactoring everything to use namespaces. Any examples out there? Everything I find from searching Google is novice intro to PHP namespaces blogs, but nothing concrete. Also since namespaces are relatively new, I see a lot of misleading guides where they are using "::" instead of "\" to separate class name parts. What does this list recommend? Dante

The framework takes a largely functional approach, so some of the Object-naming conventions aren't present, but you still might see some things you like (or hate.) It seems to work well with Netbeans (I haven't tried other IDE's.) http://code.google.com/p/nephtali/ Documentation and other stuff can be found at the website in my signature, if it would help to sift through the functions.
