What are variable functions?
Introduction. If name of a variable has parentheses (with or without parameters in it) in front of it, PHP parser tries to find a function whose name corresponds to value of the variable and executes it. Such a function is called variable function. This feature is useful in implementing callbacks, function tables etc.
What would be good names for the variables?
A good variable name should:
- Be clear and concise.
- Be written in English.
- Not contain special characters.
- Not conflict with any Python keywords, such as for , True , False , and , if , or else .
Can variable and function name same?

Can I have numbers in variable names?
After the first initial letter, variable names can also contain letters and numbers. No spaces or special characters, however, are allowed. Uppercase characters are distinct from lowercase characters.

What is the naming convention for variable and function names in Python?
Use CapWords for class names, but lower_with_under.py for module names. Although there are many existing modules named CapWords.py, this is now discouraged because it’s confusing when the module happens to be named after a class. (“wait — did I write import StringIO or from StringIO import StringIO ?”)
