Abbreviation And Hungarian (ARCH7011)

Key php.naming.no-hungarian-notation · Severity info · Category naming

Hungarian-notation type prefixes such as strName, iCount, b_flag and cryptic abbreviations add noise the type system already provides. Identifiers should describe purpose, not type.

Incorrect

<?php

class Report
{
    public function build(string $strTitle, int $iCount): void
    {
        $b_done = false;
    }
}

Correct

<?php

class Report
{
    public function build(string $title, int $count): void
    {
        $done = false;
    }
}

Fix

Drop the type prefix and cryptic abbreviations; use clear, purpose-describing names.
