I think this has something to do with variable scope?  Such as, in ASP 
(like VB), if you declare a variable i within a function, it loses 
scope after the function executes and you can have another variable i 
outside a function which stays in scope (this is NOT necessarily a 
good thing, either).

Whereas in PHP, if you declare $i, no matter where, it will be in 
scope throughout your entire script....right?

As someone who used ASP for many, many years....after using PHP for 5 
months I can pretty much state that, for me at least, it's NOT better 
than PHP, and it was a hell of a lot less fun to write.
