Well, I keep my internal script variables identical to the relevant MySQL variable , with the exception of putting the type identifier in front of the script variable (s for string, i for int, etc...)
I do the exact opposite of form data in trying not to have a form variable with the same name as a MySQL variable. The user being able to guess at column names in the database isn't usually a good thing for security reasons.

Is it common practice to name script variables/form data in say PHP to match the appropriate colums in the db tables? I can see how this makes sense, however in the little work I have done I preferred to do the opposite as it seems to be helpful to keep a distinction.
