PHP and jQuery

I've just started learning PHP and have a quick question regarding compatibility with jQuery. I noticed that PHP uses the "$" sign to set variables. This would seem to cause a compatibility clash with jQuery as it also uses the "$" sign for functions etc. My question is: If you want to use both on the same page together do you need to re-assign jQueries "$"? or if you use external script files would that get around the problem? Thanks.

jQuery is a JavaScript library, not a PHP library.By the time JavaScript starts running, PHP is already finished, so there's no conflict. In fact, there's no way you could use JavaScript to get the source of the PHP file that generated the page. Not without the server's cooperation I mean.
