Although we already have quite a few classes in PHP I think we are still at an early point and we should make the right decision now. I'd prefer that from now on going forward we prefix all new classes with Php. In PHP 6, once we implement namespaces for classes (yep, on my todo) then we can put those classes in a Php namespace.
I'm probably being dim here, but how is this going to pan out for BC? Either now, or when PHP 6 comes along and we (presumably) go from PhpDate to Php::Date? (What am I missing?) This does leave some existing inconsistencies
with SOAP/XML but honestly, we're catching it MUCH earlier than we did with functions, so we'd be in pretty good shape.
A few more than that...
My $.02 and hopefully we can have a more focused discusion now, which isn't geared against Derick, but forward looking and considering all the other classes that will be coming down the pipeline and doing the right thing. Andi
