Question

I get obsessed with the best names for arrays and variables that I use, I’ll look up words in the thesaurus, dictionary, etc..

So I’m trying to name this array / structure:

$nameMe = array(     '392' => TRUE,     '234' => TRUE,     '754' => TRUE,     '464' => TRUE, ); 

and it’s used to check if that id has a certain property, like so

if(isset($name[$id])) {     doSomething(); } 

Problem being I’m getting really long variable names like

$propertyNameArrayIdIndexed 

Any ideas for how I can better name this particular function of array? or better names in general

Answer 1

$hasProperty[$id] 

or

$isSomething[$id] 

What is the property exactly?

$isOdd[$id] $isWriteable[$id] $hasAssociatedFile[$id]
