From: Andre Polykanine on 27 Jul 2010 06:38 Hello viraj, As for classes, it's suggested to start a class name with a capital: class MyBestClass { .... } As for functions and class methods, there are lots of people who name them like this: function the_greatest_function_in_the_world () { .... } Maybe it's readable and great, but I have a little problem: I'm using a screenreader, so the word "underscore" (and its Russian equivalent) is too long for me. So I prefer function TheGreatestFunctionInTheWorld () { .... } However, just discussed it with my wife. She prefers the same method as me, though she doesn't use any screenreading software for developing. -- With best regards from Ukraine, Andre Skype: Francophile Twitter: http://twitter.com/m_elensule ----- Original message ----- From: viraj <kalinga(a)gmail.com> To: ash(a)ashleysheridan.co.uk <ash(a)ashleysheridan.co.uk> Date: Tuesday, July 27, 2010, 12:42:36 PM Subject: [PHP] Do you have some standard for defined the variable in program language? $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.

From: Joshua Kehn on 27 Jul 2010 13:02 Tedd- Java has classes listed with an Uppercase. It could be JS you're thinking of but I'm not sure. Functions (except constructors) and variables have the lowerUpperCamelCase notation.

Likewise with coding styles, there are nearly as many as there are coders. If you are working by yourself, pick something and stick with it. If you are working in a group, or are employed to write code, there may be requirements agreed upon or required in that environment. You may not find out about them until your first code review, but be assured, you will eventually be told about them. Bob McConnell |
