The last release of photoseek contains the following piece of code (excerpt
from API.inc):
function commadelim_list ($type) {
global $sql;
static $__commadelim_$type;
......
And there is:
Parse error: parse error, expecting
','' or ';'' in
/www/www.us.edu.pl/photoseek/API.inc on line 485
This is: static $__commadelim_$type;
Is it allowed to construct variable names this way? PHP 4.0.3 thinks it's
not allowed, but what was the idea of the photoseek author and how to fix
it?
