by the way, pressing the $ key is much easyier as to press the euro €
key. so why do that changing?

Until now PHP has used the $ prefix for variables what is clearly
influenced by script languages such as Perl which have their roots in
the USA.

As PHP's core components, such as ZEND, are developed in Europe and
many opinion leaders are from here I'd suggest to replace $ by the Euro
sign € as of PHP5.

Yes, this will break some of the existing scripts, but we might provide
a tool which replaces all occurencies of $ by €.
