Bug #13363: variable variables with arrays

From: developer@jaaboo.com Operating system: all PHP version: 4.0.6 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: variable variables with arrays $dynvar = "GLOBALS[first][second]"; echo $$dynvar; result : nothing , no error and no output! for arrays stored in variables only to ways are working: $dynvar = "GLOBALS"; echo ${$dynvar[first][second]}; or more dynamic but more slower! $dynvar = "<"."?PHP echo \$GLOBALS[first][second]; ?".">"; eval $dynvar; you can use a variable to store instead of echo! I think this breaks the rules of assigning variable variables . It must be possible to store the complete call of the array in a variable. The Way implemented jet is not praktical!!!!! Real World Tested! There are so much postings in many Forums and Mailinglist with no suggestion . I can't understand this! So i must think this is a BUG! or was forgotten to realize! -- Edit bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=13363&edit=1
