Re: Comparing form variables using a loop

I think you are going to have to use an eval statement here. since you need to take x and y and generate dynamic variable name DXXX_SHOWYYY, check out http://www.php.net/manual/function.eval.php but I think it might be somehtig like this eval("if $D" . $x . "_" . $y . "SHOW == $D" . $x+1 . "_" . $y+1 . "SHOW == $D") This should evaluate to "if $D1_3SHOW == $D2_4SHOW" when x=1 and y=3. I think if you use $x++ that will increment the counter which you may not want to do. Anyway, this may get you started (and this code is untested) it might be if eval("$D" . $x . "_" . $y . "SHOW == $D" . $x+1 . "_" . $y+1 . "SHOW == $D") { do something ... } On Tue, Aug 15, 2000 at 11:33:46AM -0400, J.
