To be honest the only real problem is with objects. For large
applications a consistent naming scheme helps with simple variables and in
a lot of cases it's not really important what the variable is.
With regards to objects, PHP5 now has type hints which ensures a parameter
to a function or method is of a given type (class):
function bar(Foo $foo)
{
...
}
Cheers,
Andy
