File and Folder naming<http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/appendices/2-0-migration-guide.html#file-and-folder-naming> In CakePHP 2.0 we rethought the way we are structuring our files and folders. Given that PHP 5.3 is supporting namespaces we decided to prepare our code base for adopting in a near future this PHP version, so we adopted the http://groups.google.com/group/php-standards/web/psr-0-final-proposal. At first we glanced at the internal structure of CakePHP 1.3 and realized that after all these years there was no clear organization in the files, nor did the directory structure really hint where each file should be located. With this change we would be allowed to experiment a little with (almost) automatic class loading for increasing the overall framework performance. Biggest roadblock for achieving this was maintaining some sort of backwards compatibility in the way the classes are loaded right now, and we definitely did not want to become a framework of huge class prefixes, having classnames like My_Huge_Class_Name_In_Package. We decided adopting a strategy of keeping simple class names while offering a very intuitive way of declaring class locations and clear migration path for future PHP 5.3 version of CakePHP -- ***Thiago Belem* Desenvolvedor Rio de Janeiro - RJ - Brasil +55 (21) 8865.9250 thiagobelem.net [email protected] *Skype / gTalk **»* thiago.belem.web *LinkedIn* *»* br.linkedin.com/in/thiagobelem/pt* Assando Sites*, curso de CakePHP *»* assando-sites.com.br 2011/11/3 Martin Bean <[email protected]> > Having been a long-time user of CakePHP 1.3, I was wondering why file and > folder names are now CamelCased rather than just being lowercase and > underscored? > > Personally, I'm a fan of using lowercase and underscores in filenames > (then CamelCase in my actual class declarations) so this change is pretty > jarring to me. > > -- > Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials > http://tv.cakephp.org > Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help > others with their CakePHP related questions. > > > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected] For more options, visit this group > at http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php > -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
