Not to raise the flame again, but I think you are wrong here. See http://pear.php.net/news/meeting-2003-summary.php. Especially this line: "PHP object-oriented APIs should follow the PEAR coding standards." on which we agreed even before the meeting. Method names following PEAR CS must use studlyCaps: http://pear.php.net/manual/en/standards.naming.php Meeting where you, Sebastian Bergmann, Hartmut Holzgraefe, Jeroen Houben, Wolfram Kriesing, Jan Lehnardt, George Schlossnagle, Lukas Smith, Markus Wolff and Jani were present (add those I forgot ;) ), and all people online via IRC. And now I'm wondering why that suddenly becomes ugly and, as pointed Sebastion, why PHP should follow different things than 99.9999% of others OO langages. pierre reading 10k pending mails ... :P
