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 …
