Hi Kevin, I find it a bit awkward to mix variables and arrays in a pseudo array. But I guess you have reasons... Anyhow, maybe this is what you want: $variable1="one"; $variable2="two"; $variable3 = array(); $variable3[0]="three"; $variable4 = array(); $variable4[0]="four"; $j=1; while($j<5){ if (is_array(${"variable".$j})) { print(${"variable".$j}[0] . "<br />"); } else { print(${"variable".$j} . "<br />"); }; $j++; } Timo Am Freitag den, 6. September 2002, um 20:37, schrieb Kevin Heflin:
Hoping someone can help me with this. Below I have an example of what I'm trying to accomplish. Bottom line.. I need to print out $variable3[0] and $variable4[0] and my problem is that I'm trying to generate the variable name. I can get this to work with $variable1 and $variable2 which are not arrays, however that doesn't help me much. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Kevin <? $variable1="one"; $variable2="two"; $variable3[0]="three"; $variable4[0]="four"; $j=1; while($j<5){ print("${variable.$j} <BR>"); $j++; } $j=1; while($j<5){ $k="\$variable".$j."[0]"; print("$k <BR>"); print("${variable.$k} <BR>"); $j++; } ?> -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
