I think he means camelCase naming syntax. It does tend to involve fewer keystrokes and results in shorter names that might more easily fit to a screen or paper, but I have to say I prefer the underscore convention, it just makes things much more readable (which is probably why built-in PHP functions and constants use it) -- Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk
