[chiPHPug-discuss] object variable naming

[Arlo L. <ar...@ar...>]

Hi folks,

I guess my last question stumped you! Or confused you. Or you're all on
vacation this week.

Anyway, here's another one. Does anyone think this kind of notation is
crazy?

$Profile = new Profile(); // object variable starts with uppercase

I've been running into some trouble where I assign an object to a variable,
but then I want to use the same variable for a local value, and I'd like a
standardized way to keep object variables separate. But I don't want to do
something that another developer would find unintuitive or annoying if they
had to work with my code.

I've also considered something like this:

$objects["profile"] = new Profile(); // all object variables are collected
in an array

But that's a lot slower to type.

Thanks,
-Arlo
