CI guidelines have some general naming conventions, such as the following:
Your classes, functions, and parameters should have short names, and if constructed from several words they should use the underscore separator as follows:
// several lowercase words naming with under score get_file_properties();
When defining a string value, in case the string does not have a parameter to evaluate, we shall use a single comma as follows:
$my_string = 'the string';
In case we want our string to have a parameter such as
$name
, we write our string using double quotes:$name = 'big string parameter'; $my_string = "This is a $name ";
The Boolean and contacts all should be in upper case:
$this_vale = FALSE; // While in javascript we shall use true / false // to distinguish
