You'd have to patch PHP.
See main/php_variables.c, php_register_variable_ex
(line 92 in PHP 5.1.4):
/* ensure that we don't have spaces or dots in the variable name (not binary
safe) */
for (p = var; *p; p++) {
if (*p == ' ' || *p == '.') {
*p='_';
} else if (*p == '[') {
is_array = 1;
ip = p;
*p = 0;
break;
}
}
var_len = p - var;
