From: x12code at yahoo dot com Operating system: XP SP2 PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: var statement
Description: ------------ The following page mentions "classes": http://us.php.net/manual/en/language.oop.php I am learning PHP. I went through an online tutorial and am now reading through the manual as I am lead page by page. On this page I came across new syntax not seen before which is the "var statement". This appears different than other variable declaration, which is just to type the variable name on a line with no assignment, or just use the variable for the first time. Wanting to be sure what this means I read previous manual pages on php.net again, I searched php.net, and I did an internet wide google search. I feel I have come to understand the "var statement", but doing so was difficult. It was not expressly stated in the manual. Searching is difficult because "var" is quite ambiguous to "variable" for both PHP and Javascript, and php.net uses "$var" for some code examples.
