I can not wrap my head around variable variables today, not awake yet or something. For instance I trying something like this: while ($i<$loopcounter) { $temp = "size"; $valueofsize = $$temp$i; $i++; } this doesn't work obviously, $valueofsize ends up with a literal value of "$size1". But I need it to equal the value of a variable named $size1. Do I need to use a eval() or something? Thanks in advance, » Michael Krisher mike@hyperquake.com
