For a better readability of the gd functions I would like to rename them
so that they contain underscores to separate the words. The only
exception is image2wbmp which is renamed to image_to_wbmp. The order of
the parameters of all functions whould be unchanged.
Due to the unchanged parameters it should be easyly possible to create
wrappers for forward / backward compatiblity to use the new function
names in old versions of PHP and via versa.
This was already part of the (inactive?) RFC Consistent Function Names
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/consistent_function_names. But this seems to be
too big change for a single RFC.
Step 1:
I create a patch with the new aliases.
Step 2:
Merge the changes with next minor release of PHP 7.x.
Soft deprecation of old function names in the manual.
Step 3:
Deprecated old function names with PHP 8.0.
What is your opinion for this change?
Did you prefer "image_" or "gd_" as a common prefix?
