I know that this issue to some extent or another has been brought up before, but I just wanted to make sure that this is really how things are supposed to work... Apparently the statements setting B C and D are all equivalent.
This could be absolutely bogus, but I thought maybe someone could explain briefly why if it is :)

<?php class weird {
var $myvar;
function __construct() {
$this->myvar = "A"; $this->$myvar = "B"; $this->${'myvar'} = "C"; $this->${'$myvar'} = "D";
echo 'this->myvar: '.$this->myvar."\n"; echo 'this->$myvar: '.$this->$myvar."\n"; echo 'this->${\'myvar\'}: '.$this->${'myvar'}."\n"; echo 'this->${\'$myvar\'}: '.$this->${'$myvar'}."\n"; echo 'this->$$$$$$$myvar: '.$this->$$$$$$$myvar."\n"; echo 'this->$$$$$$${\'$$$myvar\'}: ' . $this->$$$$$$${'$$$myvar'}."\n";
} }
?>
I don't see anything odd in here. All of the assignments, except for the first one ('A'), assign to $this->"" (because $myvar, ${'myvar'} (which is the same as $myvar) and ${'$myvar'} (which is basically $"") are all non existent variables which implicitly evaluate to "". Try to turn on E_ALL, it should give you some insight...
