    It looks ok to me and doesn't seem to be a reserved name. See this list for all reserved words of php.

    To be honest, I would just use other variable names for your variables, such as:
    $my_variable = 'this';
    PHP:
    Rather than wasting time with this sort of thing! :)

    It depends from what you need exactly. You can use "Variable Variables" syntax:
    So, you will have a variable with name "$va-ri-able" and value "value".
    And you can also use another syntax:
    The same result.
