Status: Bogus
Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
PHP Version: 4.1.1
New Comment:
AFAIK the prepended $ makes it possible to parse faster - i.e.
differentiating between variables and functions. Also, there would be a
namespace problem ("is it a variable or a function?").

Can't we just drop the $ and have variables without a prefix character?

key. so why do that changing?

Until now PHP has used the $ prefix for variables what is clearly
influenced by script languages such as Perl which have their roots in
the USA.
As PHP's core components, such as ZEND, are developed in Europe and
many opinion leaders are from here I'd suggest to replace $ by the Euro
sign € as of PHP5.
Yes, this will break some of the existing scripts, but we might provide
a tool which replaces all occurencies of $ by €.
