Please help, thank you all so much :-) Not sure why you want to do that. The whole point of using arrays is to simplify the handling of multiple 'related' variables. In the above example you would simply refer to the first word as $words[0], the second as $words[1] etc. If you really want to do $word1, $word2 ..., then read about: Variable Variables foreach -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.com.hk /* Give me chastity and continence, but not just now. -- St. Augustine */
