Not easily. When you pass a variable to a function the name of the
variable changes.
But why would you need to, anyway? Variable names are just there for
human readability; they should be meaningful to the programmer, but the
computer doesn't care.
And BTW - $id-hours is an invalid variable name. The hyphen isn't valid
in a variable name.
