I would therefore propose to use studlyCaps as the CS for PHP OO APIs. Current: $foo->execute_query($query, $param);

New:     $foo->executeQuery($query, $param);

I personally don't really like studyCaps as any naming convention in PHP for two reasons: 1. PHP rarely uses it

PHP itself has almost no objects defined in extensions. PEAR does though, and is widely considered to be 'the standard' for writing OO perl. And it has studlyCaps as one of it's CS standards.

Yes! For PHP4 only domxml made some more use of OO from within an extension. And domxml is an exception itself since it has to follow W3C naming. With PHP 5 this will change so i think it is a very good idea to use the same naming convention PEAR already uses. (Now it is little work) marcus
