Hello, I am trying to get values assigned to variables, by taking these data from a textfile. my txt file looks like that: variable1 // value1 variable2 // value2 etc... The point here is that I want to be able to get BOTH the variable name and its corresponding value.. I tried things like: ----------//----------- $configuration_data = file("conf/configuration.txt"); for($index=0; $index < count($configuration_data); $index++) { $line = explode("//",$configuration_data[$index]); $value = "$line[0]"; $variable = "$line[1]"; $"\$variable" = "$value"; } ----------//------------ So it's that "$"\$variable" = "$value";" which is wrong and now I don't have any inspiration anymore... Could somebody help me pleeeease?! thanks, -Alain-
