This can be done.. although how important is it? Is this a rigid PEAR code style that should be followed? My personal preference is to use last_day_of_month instead of lastDayOfMonth, it just easier to read when the words aren't all run together.

Well, it's something that's in the current standards doc, and I happen to think it's a good idea - it's just consistency. If we make sure that the entire PEAR class tree follows the same method naming conventions, then it'll be easier for people to remember what methods are called. Code using PEAR stuff will also look more consistent, also. That's my argument for. Other thoughts? -chuck

Consistent with other PEAR code, yes. I'm curious why hungarian was chosen for PEAR when all the functions in PHP itself are written with names containing underscores. If consistency is the goal, why not use underscore name in PEAR, too? -- Paul DuBois, paul@snake.net
