You should be able to display the value from an array key by joining the multi-array variable and the keys. Reproduce code: --------------- $results['rss']['channel']['item'][0]['title'] = "Hello there"; $a = "results"; $b = "['rss']['channel']['item'][0]['title']"; echo ${$a.$b}; Expected result: ---------------- I expect it to display "Hello there"; Actual result: -------------- Undefined variable: results['rss']['channel']['item'][0]['title'] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=49940&edit=1
