Should probably stick w/ Zend coding standards ...

http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/coding-standard.naming- 
conventions.html#coding-standard.naming-conventions.variables

But I think all you really need to do is answer the question, "If  
someone else were to takeover my code would they understand it @  
first glance".  Ive had people come back to me three or four times  
when I first started PHP and realized time to change the way the code  
looks/feels.  Ehh not to say it still doesn't happen, maybe less  
frequently :-)
