Which guidelines would those be? And no, you can't force anyone, This one.. (from CODING_STANDARDS): ----8<--------------------------------------- Naming Conventions ------------------ [1] Function names for user-level functions should be enclosed with in the PHP_FUNCTION() macro. They should be in lowercase, with words --------8<----------------------------------- And yes, you can force anyone. If they don't follow the guidelines set, their CVS access can as easily be taken from them as it was given.. This is same as if someone intentionally breaks some parts of the code. >if you see something you don't like however, your welcome to change it, >and if its generally a good change, then it will be included in the code. So..you think that if you are lazy and don't wanna follow these loose guidelines a bit and use your own intendation and naming convention someone else has to come after and clean up your mess?! Yeah, right. This isn't like at your home where your mom cleans up your room. Here you really have to do it yourself. :-p >I've gone ahead and changed them all to lower case...
