(U) RE: [PHP-DB] Cookie problem

CLASSIFICATION: UNCLASSIFIED I think this will work. Read the manual on Variable Variables... $var = "votecookie" . $row[0] . $row[6]; $($var) = true; You can now use $votecookie06, or whatever the numbers are. I don't know if having all of these variables is the best way to do things, though...not sure what you're doing... ---John Holmes... -----Original Message----- From: Mattias Johansson [mailto:smart@smartsmartsmart.com] Sent: Thursday, December 28, 2000 6:17 AM To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-DB] Cookie problem Okay, I need help again... Here goes: I used a loop to set the cookie name to "votecookie".$row[0].$row[6] - that works fine, I now have a lot of cookies called votecookie111, votecookie121, votecookie131 and so on. My problems are two. 1. How do I change the cookie variable? The cookie setting must be variable based, since it is in a loop. I.e. I cant set it like: $votecookie121 = true I must use something like: $."votecookie".$row[0].$row[6] = true The above is an invalid command, but if it worked it would be perfect. 2. I need to use an IF to check if the cookie is = true. The same problem applies as above, I think. I must say that PHP is a very nice language - I started learning it just a few days, and I already know it a little. Cool. Please help me out on this one, though, before I explode and die. /Mattias -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-db-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-db-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net Classification: UNCLASSIFIED
