Hmmm, Well, if you have another variable which contains the name of another variable, such as... you have a list of required fields in a form: name addr city state and they're in an array $required and you want to determine whether these fields are populated or not you can do: if ($$required[0]) { echo "Missing Name"; } But I don't know how you can get the name of a variable otherwise. -- Thomas Deliduka IT Manager ------------------------- New Eve Media The Solution To Your Internet Angst http://www.neweve.com/
