From: daverandom Operating system: Any PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Documentation not updated to reflect symbol naming rule change in 7.1 Description: ------------ Prior to 7.1, the byte 0x7f was permitted as the first character in a symbol name. Since 7.1, it is no longer allowed. The documentation has not been updated to reflect this. It needs to be updated on at least this page: http://php.net/manual/en/language.variables.basics.php There are most likely other places that need to be updated.
