                Цей документ надає вказівки щодо форматування коду та документації для розробників
                та команд які роблять свій вклад в розробку Zend Framework. Багато розробників 
                що використовують Zend Framework також знаходять корисним слідувати 
                цим стандартам щоб писати свій код у відповідності до всього коду Zend Framework.
                Варто зазначити що докладено великих зусиль щоб як найбільш повно описати стандарти кодування.

                        Примітка: Sometimes developers consider the establishment of a standard more 
                        important than what that standard actually suggests at the most detailed 
                        level of design. Інколи розробники надають впровадженню стандарту важливішого 
                        значення ніж те, що стандарт дійсно пропонує, на найбільш деталізованому 
                        рівні розробки. Вказівки в стандартах кодування Zend Framework захоплюють 
                        практичні підходи що добре себе зарекомендували в проекті розробки Zend Framework.
                        Дозволяється модифікувати ці стандарти або використовувати їх в незмінному 
                        стані у відповідності до положень нашої 
                        <ulink url="http://framework.zend.com/license">ліцензії</ulink>.

            <para>
                Zend Framework standardizes on a class naming convention whereby the names of the
                classes directly map to the directories in which they are stored. The root level
                directory of Zend Framework's standard library is the "Zend/" directory, whereas
                the root level directory of Zend Framework's extras library is the "ZendX/"
                directory. All Zend Framework classes are stored hierarchically under these root
                directories..
            </para>

            <para>
                Class names may only contain alphanumeric characters. Numbers are permitted
                in class names but are discouraged in most cases. Underscores are only permitted in
                place of the path separator; the filename "<filename>Zend/Db/Table.php</filename>"
                must map to the class name "<classname>Zend_Db_Table</classname>".
            </para>

            <para>
                If a class name is comprised of more than one word, the first letter of each new
                word must be capitalized. Successive capitalized letters are not allowed, e.g.
                a class "Zend_PDF" is not allowed while "<classname>Zend_Pdf</classname>" is
                acceptable.
            </para>

            <para>
                These conventions define a pseudo-namespace mechanism for Zend Framework. Zend
                Framework will adopt the <acronym>PHP</acronym> namespace feature when it becomes
                available and is feasible for our developers to use in their applications.
            </para>

            <para>
                See the class names in the standard and extras libraries for examples of this
                classname convention.

                    Zend Framework libraries but is not part of the standard or extras libraries
                    (e.g. application code or libraries that are not distributed by Zend) must
                    never start with "Zend_" or "ZendX_".

        <sect2 id="coding-standard.naming-conventions.abstracts">
            <title>Abstract Classes</title>

            <para>
                In general, abstract classes follow the same conventions as <link
                    linkend="coding-standard.naming-conventions.classes">classes</link>,
                with one additional rule: abstract class names must end in the term, "Abstract",
                and that term must not be preceded by an underscore. As an example,
                <classname>Zend_Controller_Plugin_Abstract</classname> is considered an
                invalid name, but <classname>Zend_Controller_PluginAbstract</classname> or
                <classname>Zend_Controller_Plugin_PluginAbstract</classname> would be valid
                names.
            </para>

            <note>
                <para>
                    This naming convention is new with version 1.9.0 of Zend Framework. Classes
                    that pre-date that version may not follow this rule, but will be renamed in
                    the future in order to comply.

        <sect2 id="coding-standard.naming-conventions.interfaces">
            <title>Interfaces</title>

            <para>
                In general, interfaces follow the same conventions as <link
                    linkend="coding-standard.naming-conventions.classes">classes</link>,
                with one additional rule: interface names may optionally end in the term,
                "Interface", but that term must not be preceded by an underscore. As an example,
                <classname>Zend_Controller_Plugin_Interface</classname> is considered an
                invalid name, but <classname>Zend_Controller_PluginInterface</classname> or
                <classname>Zend_Controller_Plugin_PluginInterface</classname> would be valid
                names.
            </para>

            <para>
                While this rule is not required, it is strongly recommended, as it provides a
                good visual cue to developers as to which files contain interfaces rather than
                classes.
            </para>

                For all other files, only alphanumeric characters, underscores, and the dash
                character ("-") are permitted. Spaces are strictly prohibited.
            </para>

            <para>
                Any file that contains <acronym>PHP</acronym> code should end with the extension
                "<filename>.php</filename>", with the notable exception of view scripts. The
                following examples show acceptable filenames for Zend Framework classes:

Zend/Controller/Front.php

            <para>
                File names must map to class names as described above.

                Function names may only contain alphanumeric characters. Underscores are not
                permitted. Numbers are permitted in function names but are discouraged in most
                cases.
            </para>

            <para>
                Function names must always start with a lowercase letter. When a function name
                consists of more than one word, the first letter of each new word must be
                capitalized. This is commonly called "camelCase" formatting.
            </para>

            <para>
                Verbosity is generally encouraged. Function names should be as verbose as is
                practical to fully describe their purpose and behavior.
            </para>

            <para>
                These are examples of acceptable names for functions:

filterInput()

getElementById()

widgetFactory()
]]></programlisting>

            <para>
                For object-oriented programming, accessors for instance or static variables should
                always be prefixed with "get" or "set". In implementing design patterns, such as the
                singleton or factory patterns, the name of the method should contain the pattern
                name where practical to more thoroughly describe behavior.
            </para>

            <para>
                For methods on objects that are declared with the "private" or "protected" modifier,
                the first character of the method name must be an underscore. This is the only
                acceptable application of an underscore in a method name. Methods declared "public"
                should never contain an underscore.
            </para>

            <para>
                Functions in the global scope (a.k.a "floating functions") are permitted but
                discouraged in most cases. Consider wrapping these functions in a static class.

            <title>Variables</title>

            <para>
                Variable names may only contain alphanumeric characters. Underscores are not
                permitted. Numbers are permitted in variable names but are discouraged in most
                cases.
            </para>

            <para>
                For instance variables that are declared with the "private" or "protected" modifier,
                the first character of the variable name must be a single underscore. This is the
                only acceptable application of an underscore in a variable name. Member variables
                declared "public" should never start with an underscore.
            </para>

            <para>
                As with function names (see section 3.3) variable names must always start with a
                lowercase letter and follow the "camelCaps" capitalization convention.
            </para>

            <para>
                Verbosity is generally encouraged. Variables should always be as verbose as
                practical to describe the data that the developer intends to store in them. Terse
                variable names such as "<varname>$i</varname>" and "<varname>$n</varname>" are
                discouraged for all but the smallest loop contexts. If a loop contains more than
                20 lines of code, the index variables should have more descriptive names.

            <para>
                All letters used in a constant name must be capitalized, while all words in a

            <para>
                Constants must be defined as class members with the "const" modifier. Defining

                    closing brace is always written on its own line. Any content within the braces
                    must be indented using four spaces.

                    If the conditional statement causes the line length to exceed the <link

                        length</link> and has several clauses, you may break the conditional into
                    multiple lines. In such a case, break the line prior to a logic operator, and
                    pad the line such that it aligns under the first character of the conditional
                    clause. The closing paren in the conditional will then be placed on a line with
                    the opening brace, with one space separating the two, at an indentation level
                    equivalent to the opening control statement.

                    For "if" statements that include "elseif" or "else", the formatting conventions
