Alex Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Typically beginning a variable name with an underscore is used to denote private properties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mchl Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Note however, that the underscore has no significance for PHP interpreter. It's just visual aid for people reading the code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
