RE: dynamically change a variable name

What do you mean? Do you want to change the variable to $dwg1 then $dwg2 then $dwg3 or what? A variable is a place for holding information. If you want the same data under a different name then create a new variable equal to the old variable then unset the original. $dwg[0] = $dwg; unset($dwg); for ($i = 1; $i < $max; $i++) { $dwg[$i] = $dwg[$i - 1]; ... } Tim Ward Senior Systems Engineer Please refer to the following disclaimer in respect of this message: http://www.stivesdirect.com/e-mail-disclaimer.html > -----Original Message----- > From: Gary [mailto:kcooke@mediaone.net] > Sent: 19 March 2001 01:36 > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: dynamically change a variable name > > > Is there a way to dynamically change a variable name?
