Re: 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) { $key = $value; }

$$key = $value; They're called variable variables - search the manual for that term for more info.

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; }

$this->$key = $value; -Stut -- http://stut.net/
