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?
