The phrase here is "groups of people"; the PHP Internals team is such a group, and it is perfectly reasonable for that group to follow a naming convention. > All you will do is annoy those people who are forced to >change, >especially when it means taking a name in a readable format and >changing it >to a less-readable format. Let's just be clear here: you are not being asked to change a single line of your PHP code. If, at some stage, you want to write a PHP extension, in C, which introduces new classes, AND you want that extension to be distributed and maintained as part of the official distribution of PHP, then you can read the naming conventions once, write your class names in the format it suggests, and all will be fine. If you never do this, the existence of a convention will make absolutely no difference to you, apart from the benefits, however small, that consistency brings. Regards, -- Rowan Collins [IMSoP]
