Hi; Q: Did the variable variable syntax change in php v 5.6x? I am aware it has changed in v 7.0 (or is there probably something else wrong with my code? Something has gone haywire and I am not getting any errors accept for the browser complaining the css is sent as text/plain instead of text/css. That is because the reference to the css source is not happening. That is because the variable variable references are failing, apparently) I have code that has been working fine until I got a copy of the site and installed it on a local FreeBSD server with php v 5.6.0 There are references to an array containing array names as strings that are supposed to fetch the values in the arrays indicated by array name as a string. Further, these are associative arrays that can be used as a database to access values by string index. $_subLst = ${self::$_arrayNames[$_dep]}; print "sub: ".$_subLst."\n"; //// $_subLst is empty

Is a header being put out? Something like:

    header ('Content-Type: text/css; charset=utf-8');

For the css, if there is something being sent, yes, but the way it works is the source for the css is an index.php script that processes get requests attactched. When there is no get request, nothing is sent. I solved that problem to send a css error comment so the css error is solved but the variable variable syntax is still an issue. JK
