Are people using camel case or underscores or both? The standard in built-in PHP functions is underscores for procedural code (simplexml_load_string) and studlyCaps/CamelCaps for object-oriented code. classes are named using CamelCaps (SimpleXMLElement) and methods are named using studlyCaps (SimpleXMLElement->attributes(), simpleXMLElement->asXML()). It would be best to adhere to this standard, regardless of personal convictions, as any class that extends a built-in class will otherwise end up with a medley of method-naming conventions.

I'm not sure there is a "standard" for naming things. Here's how I
do it...
classes: CHelloWorld { ... }
function: helloWorld() { }
vars: hello_world
I guess I tend to stick to the camel style for function or class naming,
then use underscores in vars. I also put a C before each class name. There
is Hungarian notation that a lot of developers like to use. You could
google that.

[PHP] Naming conventions
What do you use for your naming conventions for
variables
functions
classes
I'm trying to tell my students what the standard is currently. Are people using camel
case or underscores or both?

Re: [PHP] naming conventions
It doesn't really matter as far as I know except you cannot have a space, and
its not common practice to use numbers with table names. The only thing that
really matters as far as I'm concerned is that I remember how I've named it be
it firstname or first_name or FirstName as long as you know then it doesn't
really matter
I am interested in how to best name fields in mysql - and any issues
that may arise.
For example look at these field names:
"First Name" - is there any problem with the space?
"firstname", "first_name" or "FirstName" - is there a preference here?
In short I want to know if more than personal preference is involved
in naming fields...
