Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] php7- dropping the $ from the variable name - rfc
From: guilhermeblanco@gmail.com ("Guilherme Blanco")

@sotiris:

explain me how will does this be handled:

$array_pop = 'foo';

$test = $array_pop($arrayFoo); // $test = foo($arrayFoo);

if you remove the $....

array_pop = 'foo';

test = array_pop(arrayFoo); // huh?!?!?!



Cheers,
