Aye. PHP already reserves function names prepended with __ as magic. But really one could make this argument ad infinitum. If everyone wants to start their variables with a *insert random character here*, "*grin*"
IMHO it's good advice to "prepend global vars with '__' or something". I usually prepend my global vars with the application name. For instance, $wiki_DSN, $wiki_title, $wiki_authors, etc. On Sunday 05 October 2003 09:58 pm, Robert Cummings wrote: > On Mon, 2003-10-06 at 00:48, Curt Zirzow wrote: > > On the global topic, I would suggest establishing a standard > > naming convention for your common globals that are used, I do > > something like: > > $__object_something__; > > > > With your global var I can see myself writing something that will > > overwrite that $class_ref, Like say if I'm handling something that > > has to do with referee's in school classes :) Preceeding the > > global vars with '__' or something will keep the namespace clashing > > cases down to a minimum. > > But if everyone fallows your advice for using __ as a prefix... *grin*. > > Rob. -- Evan Nemerson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- "To achieve adjustment and sanity and the conditions that follow from them, we must study the structural characteristics of this world first and, then only, build languages of similar structure, instead of habitually ascribing to the world the primitive structure of our language." -Alfred Korzybski -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
