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

PSR-4 recommends using a directory hierarchy to represent the namespace.

For Object-Oriented programming, the autoloader can simplify code management with relatively little cost overhead at run time. This requires the capability to determine a file path from a class name - hence a linear transform of the latter is a good idea. This might be as simple as $className . ".php"
