variable definition in php.lang and python.lang

[gnombat]

There seems to be a strange definition in php.lang and python.lang:

$ grep :upper: *.lang
php.lang:variable = '[[:upper:]][[:word:]]*|_'
prolog.lang:variable = '[[:upper:]][[:word:]]*|_'
python.lang:variable = '[[:upper:]][[:word:]]*|_'

I believe this is correct for Prolog, but for Python or PHP ...?

I guess you're right!  That must be an old cut&paste...

variables are defined in the line

type = '(?:\$[#]?|@|%)[[:word:]]+'

it's misleading since it is called as type (it was due to previous
versions where the variable style was not included).  Actually variable
and type are formatted the same way so the problem doesn't show, but I
need to update these .lang files!

thanks for the feedback
cheers
