foreach loop to set variables

I am passing an array to a class which I want to take the array data and create some variables from the array's keys and values. So I want to create (in this case 21) new variables that I want to create in the foreach but with no success. foreach ($formdata as $key => $value) { echo "$key = $value"; } This echo's all the data how I would expect. But taking the echo out to have: foreach ($formdata as $key => $value) { $key = $value; } But this doesn't work. The variables aren't set. I was thinking that I could set up the variables outside of the function by using public $variablename for all the different variables then set the variable value using: foreach ($formdata as $key => $value) { $this->key = $value; } But that didn't work either. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/foreach-loop-to-set-variables-tp16895552p16895552.html Sent from the PHP - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
