RE: [PHP] Comparing form variables using a loop

Well if you already know then range to loop through you can try something along the lines of loop start $Current ="$D[x]_[y]SHOW"; //So your string should dynamically contain //values such as D0_0600SHOW, D1_0600SHOW //You can figure out how to assemble it to //contain the proper string. $Next = "$D[x++]_[y++]SHOW"; //Same thing, assemble a string for the //other part Now $Current should be a string like D0_0600SHOW and $Next should also be a smilar string. Whatever you need it to be. Then you can say if $$Current=$$Next end loop I'm not sure if thats what you were looking for, but there you have dynamically created variables. Otherwise called as "variable variables". See http://www.php.net/manual/language.variables.variable.php Mike -----Original Message----- From: J.

Here's what it looks like: Form variables: D0_0600SHOW = "Crow" D1_0600SHOW = "Crow" D0_0630SHOW = "Bat" D1_0630SHOW = "Dog" Script: Eg. Loop Start if $D[x]_[y]SHOW == $D[x++]_[y++]SHOW Loop Stop What it is we wish to accomplish is to have PHP reference the values of the submitted variables dynamically. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
