Jump to PostThe "var" prefix was used in PHP 4. In PHP 5, you don't need to use the word "var" to declare a variable. In PHP 5, however, a warning will be generated if error handling is set to E_STRICT.

Declaring 'variable' properties with var in classes is good practice. Can't understand why you wouldn't want to.

Is VAR a function in PHP??
Is it used in a place other than the classes??

var is used to declare a variable property within a class.
I haven't seen them used for php anywhere else.
It's certainly NOT a function AFAIK.
var or similar (e.g. 'dim') is used to declare variables in many languages, but procedural php doesn't require this keyword.
