[PHP] Hungarian Notation interest with PHP
Hi all, I have a colleague stuck with this thing named Hungarian Notation http://goo.gl/xYv8O We try to define our internal coding standards, which is very close to the Symfony ones http://goo.gl/f2rcO But we're in conflict because the colleague really argue about his Hungarian Notation. Have you got some ressources arguing against this? I ran out of mine to convince him... -- RMA. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Php is a loose typed language, and variables can (and do) change their types often. Consider even the internal php functions which can return booleans, or arrays or strings, all from the same function. Using Hungarian notation to give the dev a hint about the various types doesn't make much sense, and may give the dev a false sense of security.

It's not forbiden to prefix variables. but Hungarian notation doesn't make much sense to me for php. Php is a loose typed language, That's the first point I told him. No way: for him it's syntaxically compliant. :-) -- RMA. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Have you got some ressources arguing against this? I ran out of mine to convince him... Hungarion notation just doesn't make sense in PHP. You should not even try to convince him, if he doesn't understand this, then you might be better off finding another colleague ;) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

This simply adds far too much noise to code. If I need to know what type a variable has, I'll look at its declaration, if any. -- Cheers -- Tim -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
