Justin,
Just to be pedantic for a minute, what is now called "Hungarian Notation" isn't really what the originator meant. IMHO the current use of Hungarian Notation is pretty much worthless, especially in already typed languages (which, of course, PHP is not).
I know that the hungarian notation is a story of misunderstandings, and many people don't do it right (as understood in the original context), myself included. Since the time I started programming, I tried many variable naming conventions, and I got stuck with my own version of the hungarian notation. Some people don't like it, my company has adopted it, and I'm happy with it. Currently it's not against PEAR CS, so I will continue being happy :)
Sounds good. But be aware that PEAR CS may, some day, be changed to "ban" Hungarian Notation. It might never happen or it might happen next week due to this conversation. ;-) -- Justin Patrin
I'm fine with it too, at least for the time being ... now everybody is happy ;) -- Stefano
