note 19502 added to language.variables

Actually, you can use other chars (including spaces) in the variable name, if you are using variable variables. E.g., the following works for me (in PHP 4.1.1): $x="blah blah-blah"; $$x="value"; echo "var==" . $$x; echo "var==" . ${"blah blah-blah"}; Its output is: var==value var==value You can use it also in object variables (properties). -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+19502 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+19502 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+19502
