[snip] Just a question out of curiousity for the language lawyers out there. Why is it illegal to begin a variable name with a number in php? [/snip] This is fairly standard in programming languages.

I tried a quick Google, but no joy. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
