${'name of user'} = 'David Walsh';
echo ${'name of user'};
I can't see any reason to do this, but it's possible.

Reminds me of a templating variable. Could possibly be used in the case of having non-programming html-designers making the pages.
Hopefully someone else knows more about the benifits of this. :)
I’m really not sure, but as I used flash and dynamic variable creation, this somehow looks familiar for me. It makes sence in flash, but I don’t know why I should do this in php. I mean, arrays are better that that, right?
I dunno! Makes me wondering …
