One of the purest OO languages, Ruby, uses underscores to separate words in method names (I have to admit though that constants are named in CamelCase usually.) It's one of the reasons i prefer Ruby over most OO languages out there... > Huh? That's awful. Who supports that sort of magic? That's not much more magic than case-insensitive functions. -- Regards, Stefan Walk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
