Tony, the question here is not the style of your personal code base, which is of course you have the full right to choose as you see fit. The question is the style of the code in PHP core codebase, which is maintained by dozens of people and used by millions. For such a code base, consistent style helps both usability and maintainability, and while a competent programmer would be able to read and produce code with any style, having a consistent one would save the effort, which, multiplied by the number of people using and maintaining the code, adds up to a significant amount. I'd say lowercase "http" namespace does look a bit weird to me and I'd expect something like Http or HTTP as a namespace name, but that may be open to debate since we don't have yet a tradition of namespace naming in the core. Once we have such tradition, the extensions would be expected to follow it, at least the core ones. -- Stas Malyshev smalys...@gmail.com -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
