类具有与[关闭]内部函数类似的名称

Question

I've got told this is bad practice and makes my code look "NOOB" aka naming class similarly than function / method inside.

Could I get some additional opinions / input about what's wrong about this, because I'm seriously confused.

Class:

class MoonSoon_Init {
    private $input = array();
    private $config = array();

    function __construct()
    {
        return;
    }

    function init()
    {
         // plenty of code here
    }

}

Answer 1

To me a Class name need to tell you what the class manage.

After that a method name need to tell me what it does. The Init is similar (thinking about it) as it's preparing something before using it, so i think picus is right, your "init" method seem similar to the constructor of the class for that purpose.

Having a class name like this one MoonSoon_Init doesn't tell me anything... what is a moonsoon? After that a _init will tell me that this class start something... so there are other classes starting with MoonSoon and ending with other names?

It's a lot foggy to know something faster this way, and i'm talking about middle/big project.
