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.

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!
