Naming Variables
Variables
function names have a verb
variable names reflect actual object (e.g. a variable named “records” should be an array of records, not a query result object)
singular vs plural variable names
limit abbreviations
Defining hardcoded values in variables up front (table & field names, magic numbers)
Use global variables carefully, mostly for constants
