Our current constants, because they are prefixed with DATAGRID instead of STRUCTURES_DATAGRID, are not compliant, are they? Other point: I read in some more-or-less recent pear-dev post, that all names in PEAR will have to be prefixed with "PEAR", in the future. Is this going to happen? (I might buy a larger screen if that's the case ;-) -- ogOn 6/27/06, Martin Jansen <mj@php.net> wrote:If people access the constants from inside the defining class, they can use the self:: notation, which is significantly shorter. But this is nitpicking.I agree. Let's stick with the current naming convention. Or if you really dislike the name, then port Structures_DataGrid to PHP 5 and use (shorter) class constants. ;-)It was meant as joke, but in what Structures_DataGrid_Some_Constant is longer than Structures_DataGrid::Some_Constant? It is even shorter :)
