Oops!! What I meant was:
JavaScript: var varName; PHP: var $varName; I can't believe I did that (I have been writing JavaScript for a few years, and know better -I gotta get more sleep). So, are you saying that it is absolutely "PHP-illegal" to do: var $varName; in PHP??? Would it be ignored? Or would it screw up the interpreter?
