NameGenerator

interface NameGenerator

The generic interface to a name generation algorithm.

Constants

STD_SEPARATOR_CHAR	The character used by most implementations as the separator between name elements.
CONV_METHOD_UNDERSCORE	Traditional method for converting schema table and column names to PHP names. The <code>CONV_METHOD_XXX</code> constants define how names for columns and tables in the database schema will be converted to PHP source names.
CONV_METHOD_CLEAN	Heavier method for converting schema table and column names to PHP names. Similar to {@link #CONV_METHOD_UNDERSCORE} but this one will pass only letters and numbers through and will use as separator any character that is not a letter or a number inside the string to be converted. The <code>CONV_METHOD_XXX</code> constants define how names for columns and tales in the database schema will be converted to PHP source names.
CONV_METHOD_PHPNAME	Similar to {@link #CONV_METHOD_UNDERSCORE} except nothing is converted to lowercase.
CONV_METHOD_NOCHANGE	Specifies no modification when converting from a schema column or table name to a PHP name.
