dynamic variable arrays?

I'm trying to get this to work, so I can build dynamic, multidimensional arrays. It fails to output anything, though. Is this just not possible? If so, is there any way to have dynamic dimensions of arrays? <?php $s = array("hans","brent","annie"); $x = "comp"; for($i=0;$i<sizeof($s);$i++) { $x .= "[\"" . trim($s[$i]) . "\"]"; } $$x = "hello, world!"; print $comp["hans"]["brent"]["annie"]; ?> I'm hoping to get hello, world! out of that print at the end, but to no avail. Basically what I am trying to do is have a method for assigning dimensions to arrays dynamically... I won't know how many dimensions there might need to be ahead of time.
