PHP: Ambiguous function names
<p>I am new to php and i have seen rather Ambiguous function name convention in php and this confuses me as i regularly forget function names. I suppose i should give you an example.</p>

<p>If function for encoding is <code>htmlentities</code> then why it's opposite is named <code>html_entitiy_decode</code> rather than something like <code>entitiesdecode</code> or the one which is more close to <code>htmlentities</code>.</p>

<p>There are matching function names too but i think php does not have a consistent approach to naming its functions.</p>

<p>Any ideas please as it makes hard for me to remember function names. Thanks</p>
