Re: How printing the name and value of a variable ?

Theoriquement it is not possible, because you cannot use any variable since you don't know its name- But you can cope something with get_defined_vars() in which you set every variable without distinction into an array- and after you select the variable you need using some criterias. like this $array = get_defined_vars() ; foreach ($array as $key=>$value) if (ereg("EREG_CRITERIA",$key)) echo "La variable $KEY est egale a $value" ; Elsewhere if you know the name of the variable you would like to use do simply like this: $tigidizougou = 12; echo "THE VARIABLE tigidizougou EQUALS ".$tigidizougou; ----- Original Message ----- From: "franck raynal" <franckraynal@orange.fr> To: "php-general" <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Friday, November 01, 2002 9:09 AM Subject: [PHP] How printing the name and value of a variable ? Hello, I'd like to print the name of a variable, in order to get something like this : THE VARIABLE tigidizougou EQUALS 12 ! from the original code below : $tigidizougou = 12; echo "THE VARIABLE ".(please help me right here)." EQUALS ".$tigidizougou; Any idea ? Thanks you. Franck -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
