I know that this issue to some extent or another has been brought up
before, but I just wanted to make sure that this is really how things
are supposed to work... Apparently the statements setting B C and D
are all equivalent.

This could be absolutely bogus, but I thought maybe someone could
explain briefly why if it is :)

<?php
        class weird {

              var $myvar;

              function __construct() {

              $this->myvar = "A";
              $this->$myvar = "B";
              $this->${'myvar'} = "C";
              $this->${'$myvar'} = "D";

              echo 'this->myvar: '.$this->myvar."\n";
              echo 'this->$myvar: '.$this->$myvar."\n";
              echo 'this->${\'myvar\'}: '.$this->${'myvar'}."\n";
              echo 'this->${\'$myvar\'}: '.$this->${'$myvar'}."\n";
              echo 'this->$$$$$$$myvar: '.$this->$$$$$$$myvar."\n";
              echo 'this->$$$$$$${\'$$$myvar\'}: ' . 
                    $this->$$$$$$${'$$$myvar'}."\n";

             }
        }
