By using your examples I can make $test actually be a value by doing this with the variable variable: $$foo = 'avalue'; // $test is assinge 'avalue' Is equivalent as doing: $test = 'avalue'; // $test is assinge 'avalue' And thus, without the actual $test assignment: echo "$test $foo"; will result in: "avalue test" HTH, Curt -- First, let me assure you that this is not one of those shady pyramid schemes you've been hearing about. No, sir. Our model is the trapezoid!
