Hello all. Howcome I can create an array on a variable variable using array(), but not in a for-loop (See code below)? <? $name = "talltorp"; $$name = array(1,2,3,4); // <-- this works for ($i=0; $i<10; $i++) { // $$name[] = $i; // <-- this does not work } // for ($i=0; $i<sizeof($talltorp); $i++) echo $talltorp[$i]; } ?> In the for-loop I get this error message: Fatal error: Cannot use [] for reading in E:\Inetpub\wwwroot\testscript\sessions\test4.php on line 6 Is this a bug or do I have the bugs in my head finally gotten to my thinking area? Thanks, // Tobias Talltorp
