OK, I understand now.
If you're talking about $this->value being used to define $value as a
class member, no.
You can do it for array elements, though -
$myArray['value'] = 123;
defines the array element with key 'value'.
Personally I've never liked being able to define variables dynamically.
It becomes very difficult to debug and/or modify the code.
