Re: Variable name length

Didn't find the MySQL one at all; and I didn't see a number in the PHP
reference which I did see, so I missed that too. But "any number of
characters" is intriguing. I did a test and created a test string
variable called:
$supercalafragilisticexpyaladocious_is_a_variable_name_that_is_quite_atrocious
And added text to it (it worked) then created:
$supercalafragilisticexpyaladocious_is_a_variable_name_that_is_quite_atrocious_2
and echoed both back, both were unique..

Impressive, but I think probably some sort of abbreviation for such
long identifiers would be necessary for sanity's sake.

That was a sufficient test but I am still tempted to write up a 32k
variable name to see if it will still stand true. ;-)

Thanks for pointing out the obvious that I missed!
