Simple question : do you prefix your PHP classes (for example your library classes) with the name of your company ?
Example : Zend prefix everything with “Zend_”, but that’s normal because this is a framework (so they want to avoid conflicts).
Should I do the same for the library classes of my company ? Will I ever get conflicts ?
I think this is easier to use without the prefix (shorter names), but is that a good practice to have a prefix ?
PHP has namespaces. You should use them instead of prefixing everything with a name.
At the very least, your developers will thank you when they don’t have to keep typing
MyFrameworkName...just to start using one of your classes.
