Hmm, shouldn't the definitive reference be:

http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/F/foo.html

And really, you should read the entry on
"metasyntactic variables" for a fuller understanding....

Foo on your metasyntax!!

if ($foo==$bar) {
    
     for ($baz=0; $baz<$qux; $baz++) {

          $quux=$baz;
          if ($garply['quux']==$waldo) {

               echo $thud;
          }      
     }
