If you try to assign a value directly to a variable that is a number such as: $1 = "Hello World"; Then it won't work. However, due to a somewhat quirky implementation you can get arund this by doing: $a=1; $$a = "Hello World"; You can verify that you do indeed have a variable named $1 in your global symbol table by doing: echo $GLOBALS[1]; -Rasmus
