Naming php files

Question

Is there any convention for naming php files? Not talking about php class files, but files that are mostly HTML with some php inside them. Should it be my-file-example.php

Answer 1

I would suggest you to use underscore separators my_file_example.php, CodeIgniter for example use this convention for it's view files.

With dashes, some IDE/Text Editor don't select all the filname by double clicking on it, while with underscore it select, generally, all the file name.
