Not sure I fully understand you. I'm assuming that you mean that you prefix
each member method with a particular string that relates to the class.
By doing this you lose a key strength of OOP. Namely the ability to write
polymorphic code.
In effect, you would not be able to do the following:
class A
{
function print()
{
print("A");
}
}
class B
{
function print()
{
print("B");
}
}
$arrObjects[1]= new A();
$arrObjects[2]= new B();
foreach ($arrObjects as $key->$value)
{
$value->print(); // This is the polymorphic piece - the object type is
decided at run-time
}
If you methods were called A_print() and B_print() then you would not be
able to build generic code as above.

Hi Guys,
When naming classes and function's within the class(and even
functions(probably more so?)) do you use a common string infront of
everything? For example HM_function_name()
The reason I am asking is because what if you want to easily intergrate a
class/function with lots of other classes/function and then you find out
there is two with the same name?
Any thoughts on this would be good!
