Should probably stick w/ Zend coding standards ...

conventions.html#coding-standard.naming-conventions.variables
But I think all you really need to do is answer the question, "If
someone else were to takeover my code would they understand it @
first glance". Ive had people come back to me three or four times
when I first started PHP and realized time to change the way the code
looks/feels. Ehh not to say it still doesn't happen, maybe less
frequently :-)

Hi!
Is there any (noticeable) difference between using short variable
names and long ones? I rather use variable names such as
$firstnamecounter than just $i, $john, or $doe (I've seen code
where the developer used almost exclusively his first and last name
for just about everything).
I try to give each important variable a name that is descriptive
and unique within my project so that I can name the same thing by
the same name across multiple scripts.
I just wonder if I should get used to a different naming convention
now that my projects get more complex.
