[Phpwebsite-developers] Naming conventions

[Todd O. <to...@da...>]

It seems that those expressing an opinion want <tablename in singular>id as
the primary key and ref<primary key name of other table> for foreign keys,
which is a good method.

I prefer underscores in lieu of StEpPiNg caps for the following reasons.  I
think it's easier to read and case is always lower.  PHP has adopted it
(e.g. mysql_fetch_array()) and so has most of the existing phpWebSite code.
Does everyone agree?

I agree that the underscore should be used just for the fact all the code 
is more or less already done that way and PHP uses that method for 
functions.  If this was java I could see using caps but its not :)

Hello,

A small comment about capitalization: <tablename in singular>ID ; notice the
uppercase ID because it is easier to read :).

As far as the rest goes... I guess it's just an issue of preference. I
personally prefer java-style, like in getItemProperty(). It somehow looks
weird to have something like my_object->get_item_property(). It sure does
look better if you make that myObject->getItemProperty() ! Just like
phpWebSite looks better than php_web_site ... :))

But as I say, this is my -personal- preference and coding style. As I said
in one of my earlier E-mails, all of my PHP code is strictly object
oriented, as far as PHP allows it, and thus I have adopted the OOP (java,
c++) naming scheme.

Thanks for asking for opinions :)
