Re: Variable naming standards???

Samuel this is what you can use as a standard (at least for yourself): http://www.cs.msstate.edu/~cs1314/global/guide It describes how to name variables, functions, scripts etc. In short the variable names must tell the programmer what it is being used for, e.g. $countHits = 0; // initialize counter to count no. of hits on the page or use _ to separate words - $count_hits = 0; On Tue, 13 Aug 2002, Nicholas Mercier wrote: > My two cents, > > I think if you are working on a personal product you use what works for > you.
