Hello all,

I'm currently documenting the Tidy extension and I've noted that John has
changed the API in PHP 5.
He changed all is_xxx to isXxx. This makes Tidy 1 and 2 (PHP 4 and 5)
complitely imcompatible.

I don't see any advantages in changing the API. And I prefer the is_xxx
form....

Is it possible to revert this change, please?
(http://cvs.php.net/diff.php/php-src/ext/tidy/tidy.c?r1=1.35&r2=1.36)


Thanks,
Nuno

Hello Nuno,

The point is that we discussed this very long and came to the conclusion
that all php5 oo extensions should follow studlyCaps convention in their
method naming. Hence this will not be changed again.

I think that the is_xxx form is more readable, but as my opion doesn't
count.... I think this rule should be applied only in new
functions/extensions.

If you really decide not to change this, thats more work to me.... :) The
documentation will become more confusing, but.....

I think Tidy is new enough so that this BC break will affect very few.
