I think it's a fine idea. My personal preference is to var each variable, but I understand the motivation for creating a local struct. And if I was looking at code I think I'd notice the local struct convention much more quickly with the $. The $ serves as a warning. It says, "Hey, there's something special going on here. This isn't just a case of some clueless programmer with a structure fetish." The $ looks and feels like a symbol, rather than a variable name. As a result, I think the $ example is less cluttered and more readable than the lcl example. I'm actually tempted to switch the local struct convention now. :) Patrick -- Patrick McElhaney 704.560.9117 http://pmcelhaney.weblogs.us ---------------------------------------------------------- You are subscribed to cfcdev.
