POLL: Function and Variable naming conventions, which do you use and why?

[nadeemshafi9]

the reason you have to follow naming conventions is that simply, web apps once written are built using a search and replace on files that are generic definitions, eg the Model and the View and teh controller for a one to many relationship is generic i do a search and replace on the name of the item, wheras the relationship is the same for both EG. job>user and group>user  therfore the software are generic u just need to change the name.

 

Doing a search and replace on a file to make a new interface from generic file means u have to preserve the old naming conventions unless u whant to rewrite the whole things WHICH IS NOT WORTH IT in teh big picture.

Neither is "best". As long as you are consistent it doesn't matter much. As for the question, I follow Zend's standard except that I use a tab instead of four spaces.
