[quote author="drewbee" date="1242084501"]While were on this naming conventions wagon, something that I thought was rather intuitive in terms of naming conventions was the database column names at my current job. This job is the first time I have ever seen this, but it comes in real handy so you know exactly what data column type it is.
intAccountID, chvName, chvEmail, bitActive, fltPaidAmount etc etc.[/quote]
I'm not sure I would find that to be as big a deal is you do
Partly because it just seems obvious (in 99% of cases) what type something is, anything with ID in it is always an int, stuff like email, name etc is a varchar, anything which sounds like a boolean, eg is_active is a boolean
Also, with PHPs dynamic typing, its not as important, as a string of a number can be treated as a string or a number
