Well - it's a miracle... I just tried the code you posted, and indeed PHP (v.4.2.2) allows numeric identifiers - BUT ONLY as long as you're accessing it indirectly. Example: $key = 0; $$key = 'some data'; // works echo $$key; // works echo "Key 0: $0" // prints "$0", not the content (wrong) echo $0; // error "unexpected T_DNUMBER" -- >O Ernest E.
