Re: So is there an official variable-naming schema for extensions?
$ext_<extension_id>_var is I think what we settled on
So, I would use $ext_foobar_result if I was trying to store a database result in the extension with ID foobar.

But you don't have to have foobar as ID even if the extension is named foobar, you can always use fb. (as long as you're the first one to use it)

Still. A for suddenly looks uglier:
for($ext_fb_i = 0; $ext_fb_i != 10; $ext_fb_i++)And takes ages longer to type out too

Would you rather use $pun_extension[<ext_id>][stuff]? That was the original plan

Well, until I make a facebook extensions and want to use fb as well. Extension IDs are meant to be unique, which is why they should be used. Long variable names? Yes. I would much rather have people writing/copy-pasting long variable names than posting lots of "Why do these extensions not work together?" and "Why does doing this break PunBB" posts.

I agree on this... I prefer the larger variables.
