Re: Fields, Comboboxes, repost

It would probably be easier to just make a 2-D array instead of dealing with variable variables... >3. This is similar to above, but it refers to functions.

You can *call* a variable-named function, but I don't think you can define them like that... -- Visit the Zend Store at http://www.zend.com/store/ Wanna help me out? Like Music?
