Re: Naming of a script ...

We generally discourage using "PHP" in the name of things. Why do you want to put the name of the language into your name? You don't see that very much with any other language. ie. PerlMajordomo, PythonMailman, C-Apache, C++Mozilla, etc. Having PHP in the name is not a good thing becase it gives people the impression that this is somehow related to and/or endorsed/supported by the PHP developers. This puts extra load on our support resources and it is unfair to the next guy who comes along with a similar tool. Your package name should stand on its own merits and not leech off of PHP's name. -Rasmus > I did an initial private release of a script yesterday. The scripts name > is currently 'phpDiff'.
