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

There are usually 2 conventions you need to take into consideration:

1. used framework
2. PSR-4

In best scenario these 2 are the same. I usually try to avoid cases when a framework tries to force some custom rules.

Either way, the MOST important is to stay consistent throughout the project. Once you pick a convention to follow, stick with it until you start working on a different project. There's nothing worse than different naming conventions in a single project, doesn't matter if we're talking about files, classes, methods or whatever. Be consistent.
