Name of new files only containing classes

[igorw]

I have added the `phpbb_` prefix to the proposal.

[Oleg]

So, class name of a cron task supplied by a modification would begin with phpbb_?

[igorw]

Yes, all new class names would begin with phpbb_.

[igorw]

I'd like to bump this. It would be nice to hear some more opinions/suggestions, especially from the devs.

How would this integrate with other stuff making use of autoloading?

[igorw]

It should not have an impact at all, since the current proposal doesn't make any use of autoloading. It uses a custom function to resolve class names and load the classes (the proposed phpbb_load_class function). Even if autoloading were to be used in the future, it should not matter really. Autoloading (when done right) is based on prefixes, so the Zend_ prefix does not clash with a phpbb prefix or namespace.

Just in case somebody reads this topic some day, the follow-up to this discussion with a slightly different proposal is here: viewtopic.php?f=84&t=33237
