And furthermore..
"Variable names follow the same rules as other labels in PHP. A valid
variable name starts with a letter or underscore, followed by any number of
letters, numbers, or underscores. As a regular expression, it would be
expressed thus: '[a-zA-Z_\x7f-\xff][a-zA-Z0-9_\x7f-\xff]*' "
From the PHP manual -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.php
Note that variables can't *start* with a number but can contain numbers
after the first character..
