Description:
------------
Prior to 7.1, the byte 0x7f was permitted as the first character in a symbol name. Since 7.1, it is no longer allowed. The documentation has not been updated to reflect this.

It needs to be updated on at least this page: http://php.net/manual/en/language.variables.basics.php

There are most likely other places that need to be updated.
