Assign same value to multiple variables at once?

How can I assign the same value for multiple variables in PHP at once ?

I have something like:

$var_a = 'A';
$var_b = 'A';
$same_var = 'A';
$var_d = 'A';
$some_var ='A';

In my case, I can't rename all variables to have the same name (that would make things more easy), so is there any way to assign the same value to all variables in a much more compact way?

$var_a = $var_b = $same_var = $var_d = $some_var = 'A';
