Figured I'd expand on what these evaluate to, in case anyone gets lost otherwise: >-----Original Message----- >From: Micah Stevens [mailto:micah@raincross-tech.com] [snip] >You can use variable variables.. like this: > >$num = 2 $num == 2 [obviously :) ] >$varname = "id".$num; $varname == "id2" >$$varname = "id2 is stored here!"; $id2 == "id2 is stored here!" // $$varname == ${$varname} == ${"id2"} You can use {}'s whenever there's ambiguity, just like arrays. It's true that these can get confusing, but they're also a really good way to do some neat dynamic things and have predictable variable names for them. >It's in the docs in the variables section.. I couldn't have suggested a better place to get sorted out on all this - Chris: browse the docs some, best way to wrap your head around things - and the comments at the bottom tend to have useful real-world examples. cheers, - Martin Norland, Sys Admin / Database / Web Developer, International Outreach x3257 The opinion(s) contained within this email do not necessarily represent those of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
