Variable Names

[nyi8083]

Does it matter if I use the same variable names in different php files? Is this a bad practice or does this really not matter at all?

the ansaw is no.

but the varable names should reflect what your creating.

example varables with meanfull meaning.

$name is varable for name.
$fname is varable for first name.

Keep in mind variables should either start of with an underscore (_) or a letter, after that they can contain any number of underscores/letters/numbers etc.

[b]Invalid vars:[/b]
$ name
$1234
$-somename

[b]Valid vars:[/b]
$__1name2__
$_name1
$name1234
$name

Redarrows advice is very good, you should name your variables accordingly.
