Naming conventions for variables. When reading code, it is important to be able to easily tell where a variable came from, and what kind of variable it is. To this end, I use: $lv_ for local, throwaway variables $sv_ for session variable $sc_ for session constant $fv_ for form variable $fc_ for form constant ( provided by "hidden" tag ) Personally, I don't like PHP constants, because they don't require the leading $, and I don't like much of anything in all upper case. This is why I use "$sc_". It just tells me this value should never be changed.
