PHP Variable naming recommendations

PHP is a weak type language, if there are many variables in the program, plus PHP many function names are very confusing, chaos on the confusion, see also dazzling.

Unified coding style, and even variable naming, is very important in team development.

I engaged in the development of PHP for many years, in order to lead the team more effective, and gradually formed a kind of PHP naming habits (behind a friend said is already existing Hungarian nomenclature), so that their procedures appear very clear.

I will give you the experience below, not necessarily for others, but still share.

String, literal, plus str in front of variable
