Error Unable to store "-e" in variable ??????

p="-e"
echo $p

It is not returning the value "-e" stored. Instead returns null.

I am wondering how could this happen. Please help me out.I tried all possibilities like p='-e' | p="\-e". Nothing seems to work.

apc_store - Cache a variable in the data store

SYNOPSIS
bool apc_store (string $key, mixed $var, [int $ttl]) DESCRIPTION
array apc_store (array $values, [mixed $unused = NULL], [int $ttl]) Cache a variable in the data store. Note Unlike many other mechanisms in PHP, variables stored using apc_store(3) will persist between requests (until the value is removed from the cache). PARAMETERS
o $key - Store the variable using this name. $keys are cache-unique, so storing a second value with the same $key will overwrite the original value. o $var - The variable to store o $ttl - Time To Live; store $var in the cache for $ttl seconds. After the $ttl has passed, the stored variable will be expunged from the cache (on the next request). If no $ttl is supplied (or if the $ttl is 0), the value will persist until it is removed from the cache manually, or otherwise fails to exist in the cache (clear, restart, etc.). o $values - Names in key, variables in value. RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. Second syntax returns array with error keys. EXAMPLES
Example #1 A apc_store(3) example <?php $bar = 'BAR'; apc_store('foo', $bar); var_dump(apc_fetch('foo')); ?> The above example will output: string(3) "BAR" SEE ALSO
apc_add(3), apc_fetch(3), apc_delete(3). PHP Documentation Group APC_STORE(3)
