Hey,

        <?php

results in

        Notice: Undefined variable: foo in /foo/bar.php on line 4

        Notice: Undefined variable: in /foo/bar.php on line 4

Wouldn't it be more appropriate if the second notice was something like "Notice: Undefined variable: <unnamed> in /foo/bar.php on line 4"?

i'd prefere to put the variable name in single quotes here as the name actually is '' (empty string) <?php $foo = ""; $$foo = "hallo"; echo ${""}; ?> -- Hartmut Holzgraefe <hartmut@php.net>
