If consistency > is the goal, why not use underscore name in PEAR, too? It is NOT hungarian notation. Hungarian is the practice of prefixing variable names with an abreviation representing their type. Name methods like getWidgets() is called studlyCaps or camel notation. The argument for it, as I remember (and this is what I agree with, at least), is that it differentiates object-oriented code from other code, and even more, it differentiates user code from php built-in functions. So it's easy to see what might require a module loaded into php, and what's just a class you need to load. -chuck -- Charles Hagenbuch, <chuck@horde.org> must... find... acorns... *thud*
