I have a problem I'm not sure how to fix. PART I I have a form on a page that creates its variables dynamically. Here's an example: mysql_db_query($db, "SELECT * FROM table"); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo "<INPUT TYPE='CHECKBOX' NAME='chk_".$row["checkboxtype"]."'>"; } PART II I need to make reference to these dynamically created variables. How do I do this? This does not work, obviously: $chk_.$row["checkboxtype"] Thanks in advance... _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com $temp = "chk_$row";
echo $$temp["checkboxtype"]; the trick is $$var_name ;) have fun, Nuno
