Re: What's about the double underscore in front of methods?

It's used in localisation - it basically looks to see if you have defined a translated version of the contents of the brackets. See http://book.cakephp.org/view/1229/Internationalizing-Your-Application.

Hi everybody

I stumbled over some methods in a CakePHP app I've taken over from
somebody that begin with a double underscoore, e.g.:

__getPageTitle(...)

I'm not sure what's the philosophy about that? I know one underscore
as the convention for private methods, but two underscores?

Thanks a lot for informations.
