If you want it to be GLOBAL it works a lot better. When you dceide not to use a global variable and pass it via a function you can also pass the one array much more easily. ie: $test[1] = "foo"; $test[2] = "bar" . . $test[10] = "Vladimir"; while(list($key,$value) = each($GLOBALS["test"])){ echo "$key $value <br>\n"; } or have a function that is similiar: function showall($ary){ while(list($key,$value) = each($ary)){ echo "$key $value <br>\n"; } } and call it via showall($test); No where near as messy and much easier to change if someone decides that they want 12 items instead of 10. Its also more reusable and you dont have as many globals to worry about. mn Mark Nold markn@enspace.com <mailto:markn@enspace.com> Senior Consultant   Change is inevitable, except from vending machines. -----Original Message----- From: Vladimir Novakovic [mailto:vnovakov@ai.sanu.ac.yu] Sent: Wednesday, November 01, 2000 2:53 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: GLOBALS... I need to have several globals from $GLOBALS[test0] until $GLOBALS[test10], but under regular while/endwhile loops, will anyone help me and send some example? How to do that with regular variables too? For example I need to have varibale from $stn0 until $stn10. Is it possible to use something like: $stn$i What do I need - example: $num=10 $i=0; while($i < $num): $GLOBALS[phone0...10] = $stn0...10; $i = $i + 1; endwhile; thanks in advance, Vladimir
