I was looking but didnt find the phpma coding standard for things like docs, function names and conventions.
The question I was looking for was the function name convention for library function since I saw two standards being followed in the codebase and I am not sure which is correct.
If I'm not mistaken, PHP library methods should have this form (following the PEAR standard) :
PMA_someFunction()
- PMA prefix
- camelCasing
What other kind of standard did you find?
PMA_generate_common_hidden_inputs I did not know if we are using underscores or camel casing. I looked at the pear standard and found out about the rest of the conventions for code. but not the documentation convention.
Yes, camelCase. But phpMyAdmin has a history of 15 years and refactoring is still ongoing, so you might find some other styles as well.
for example if a function returns two things how is that represented in the documentation.
I don't understand what you mean? A function can have only one return value. Do you mean that a function returns an array? Or an object? Or has a 'byReference' parameter? Or sets a global variable?
