So you can have: > print "I'm a $variable"; > instead of the messy javascript way: > alert("I'm a " . $variable); But the language could still support variable evaluation within strings without requiring the '$' to always appear in front of a variable name. So, a '$' within a string would mean "treat the following identifier as a variable to be evaluated". I believe that this introduces no inconsistencies & removes the ugly $s that litter PHP programs. -- JR -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
