[PHP] Do you have some standard for defined the variable in program language?
Hello Everybody I start to write PHP script and all veritable a defined without some rules. I want to ask to you somebody know how is correct do different some variable. Like from next three variable who is correct: $firstname $FirstName $firstName $first_name etc. I know that from this variable can work all, but i want to know how is use in company. Do you have some standard for defined the variable in program language?

However, you should try and remain consistent with whichever way you decide to use. Personally, I find the $firstName style the best of the four examples you gave. It's easily readable when I look over code at a later date, and slightly faster to type than $first_name (although even if only by a mere fraction of a second!) Some existing codebases might use a particular method though, and if you're working on a project with a team, then it really helps to all be using the same convention of naming variables. At the end of the day, this is all down to preference, along with code indentation and layout. Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk

Re[2]: [PHP] Do you have some standard for defined the variable in program language?
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.

Re: Re[2]: [PHP] Do you have some standard for defined the variable in program language?
yes andre, and in addition.. i have found the 'underscore' becomes a
handy delimiter character in certain cases. it's really helpful in
auto-loading and in calling user functions and in magic calls.
so, this is another reason to avoid 'underscore' in variable names.
code looks prettier and clean.
variables - $firstName
classes - MyBestClass
functions - TheGreatestFunctionInTheWorld
classes (auto-loadable) - Service_Maps (eg: maps class in service module)
hope this makes a neat coding style.

That's all in the eye of the viewer: underscores are much prettier to me in variables. That's all just a roundabout way of saying it's prettier has no meaning on an objective level. classes - MyBestClass functions - TheGreatestFunctionInTheWorld That confuses classes and functions - I prefer a naming convention where classes and functions are named using different styles. Personally I go for mixed-case for classes and camelcase for functions, e.g. MyClass and myFunction(). Still, that's really just personal taste and whatever makes you happy is the thing to go with.

I don't have any problems with using that convention for method/function/class names. The only problem I have found (regardless of naming convention) is in using $_SESSION[]'s. Sometimes: $first_name = $_SESSION['first_name.']; will cause problems. The solution is to use an index that's named different than the variable name, such as: $first_name = $_SESSION['session_first_name.']; Cheers, tedd -- --- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Tedd-
Java has classes listed with an Uppercase. It could be JS you're thinking of
but I'm not sure. Functions (except constructors) and variables have the
lowerUpperCamelCase notation.

One of the best features of standards is that there are so many to
choose from. Likewise with coding styles, there are nearly as many as
there are coders. If you are working by yourself, pick something and
stick with it. If you are working in a group, or are employed to write
code, there may be requirements agreed upon or required in that
environment. You may not find out about them until your first code
review, but be assured, you will eventually be told about them.

Hello All
First thanks for all suggestions, I find some document from 2003 year
and plane to use this standard everybody who what can see on next link
