I'm wondering if this can be done, and if so, what's the proper way to do it. For the current issue I'm trying to unset some variables with common names and I would like to step through them with a loop. Here's where I'm at to give you an idea but the code doesn't work. for ($i = 2; $i <= 4; $i++) { unset($level$iName); unset($level$iUrl); } so the code unsets unset($level2Name); unset($level2Url); unset($level3Name); unset($level3Url); unset($level4Name); unset($level4Url); I guess I could create a variable before the unset like so $unsetA = "level" . $i . "Name"; but that seems cloogey. Thanks, Tom
