Re: test for undefined variables & renaming variables

you can test for undefined variables using isset($var) or empty($var) look into the php manual for more details on these functions yes php does provide you with an option to create variables from variables themselves refer to the following http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.variable.php hope that helps regards Ankur Verma HCL Technologies A1CD, Sec -16 Noida, UP India ----- Original Message ----- From: "August Malson" <thearchgu@mac.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Thursday, February 08, 2001 12:41 PM Subject: [PHP] test for undefined variables & renaming variables > Q: > Does anyone know of a way to test for undefined variables?
