'cause appendChild, resp. append_child is the the w3c standard ... > - We started conforming to the standard why not go the whole way. - 'cause, as said before, it's the php way to seperate words. And i would much apreciate, if this would be everywhere the same (isset and is_null as a wonderfull example...) > And with alias we can have the php standard and the w3c standard. i don't see a reason for that. it's not that complicated to change appendChild to append_child in your code. you have to change your code anyway. and since PHP is not case-sensitive functionname wise, you will get funny stuff (see ext/gd in all the tutorials, if php is ever going case sensitiv (is it?), then all those examples are in big trouble :) ) I'm certainly against introducing the non-underscore api-stuff. and BTW, i didn't found anything on w3.org, which says method names have to be studly caps (but i just had a quick look). The php-api is more or less clear in that way, that where w3c suggest an uppercase letter, php makes an underscore. Therefore it's not that hard to switch between different languages. ok. i repeat more or less what others said... chregu > > - Brad > --- Markus Fischer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I fail to see the advante.
