What's the standard way of naming classes?

Pick a name.. use it.

Is this really that hard to work out?!

Take a look through http://pear.php.net to get an idea, if it's really that difficult :?

I was just wondering if there was a standard. I'm trying to make things as easy to read as possible.

In a similar vein to functions, some name which offers a description of what that class does.

It's all matter of personal preference, some people prefer to capitalise the first letter of there class name, others prefer a CamelCase style i.e. a class which handles sessions may be called SessionHandler or Session_handler or variations of. There is (as far as I'm aware) no real standard.

PEAR have documented their coding standard/style although I'm not sure if this extends to naming conventions but it may be worth a look to get a general idea of at least one style. Personally I don't adhere to PEAR standards but as I said it's all down to personal preference.
