The reason "it doesn't work" is because these are not the same reference. $HTTP_GET_VARS[$name] expands to: $HTTP_GET_VARS[field[text][email]] Which, as you can see, is not the same as: $HTTP_GET_VARS[field][text][email] Since you're apparently trying to access the data submitted in > <input type=text name="field[text][email]" value="email@email.com"> > <input type=text name="field[text][url]" > value="http://www.email.com"> How about using something like: extract($HTTP_GET_VARS['field']['text']); //note that index names are quoted echo $email; echo $url; ? Otherwise, if you want to stick with the original method, I believe you would use something like: $name="['field']['text']['email']"; //index names quoted, brackets added echo $HTTP_GET_VARS$name; //brackets dropped -- CC
