Is this really the criteria being used to support a lack of consistency?
This sort of thing (inconsistency) is one reason why PHP is frequently attacked
and attacking scripts is terrorism, thus georg's violation of a never agreed upon standard is in support of terrorism.
thus php supports terrorism - i always thought that elephant was for smuggling nuclear material.
wmd.
all that because MySQLi's naming conventions violate the pleasure of some people on the list. Georg made his decision on this, and there are enough developers against it to backup his decision - can we please find another dead horse to beat? ;-)
Sterling. We did come to a decision on this mailing list. In case you were asleep, well read the archives.
And no, I don't think we should make decisions about PHP based on books. Zeev's book with PHP 5 support came out a few months ago and we broke half the things which he wrote about it. He'll need to create a new edition and I don't remember him even once complaining about it, because he did what was best for PHP.
The fact is that consistency is important for PHP, wether it is studlyCaps or underscores. We just happened to have decided on studlyCaps, if you don't like it then you had your chance to voice this when it was discuss on [EMAIL PROTECTED] We can't continue to open issues every month or two.
