Hi Folks, I've been using "variable variables" for years with PHP. $var = "myVarName"; $$var = "Some Val"; echo $myVarName; //outputs "Some Val" [snip]

Example: $var['first']='bob'; $var['second']='frank'; $varName = "myVarName"; $$varName = $var; echo $$varName['second']; //should output "frank" but doesn't. :-\ <----------------------------- echo $var['second']; //should output "frank" works fine.

Try adding $frank = 'woopsie!'; to the top of your script and running it. ----- echo ${$VarName}['second']; is what you want - you want to be very clear what order these things need to be analyzed in, especially when dealing with arrays and the likes.
