From: Draugsi@hotmail.com Operating system: PHP version: 4.0.6 PHP Bug Type: Variables related Bug description: At least missleading errormessage and possible a bug. This error message is reported on your page : Parse error: parse error, expecting T_VARIABLE' or '$'' in ************** on line *** At first i thougt this was because i was "making" a 2 dimentional array or because i was doing somthing wrong in the query to MySQL but i found out the hard way that this was not the case. To reproduce this error is pretty easy, the only ting you have to do is this : <?php $2dAnim="All your base are belong to us."; ?> ... just this will trigger it, to fix this error just do : <?php $TwoDAnim="All your base are belong to us."; ?> Apparently if you have a digit as the first char in a variable you will get this error message. It would of been nice if i could have found some information about this, but instead i sat for "two" days trying to figure out how i screewd up the Multidimensional array or the Query.
