to evaluate ...

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Sorry for bothering you, but I really didn't find answeres on dejanews and in the tutorial, or better, I did not see them. I need the following variables: $width1 $width2 $width3 . . . $widthn Because it is not shure, how many they are, I need to construct them. And because I need them in a <form> as "name" I could not use arrays (or did I miss something here???). So I tried the following, and it works: (just to look that it works...) [...] $tmp = "bar$z_j"; while ($z_i <= $$tmp) { echo "$$tmp\n"; $z_i++; } [...] Ok, now the real problem starts: if ($z_bars < $bars) { $z_i = 1; $rest = 100; while ($z_i <= $z_bars) { $temp = "width_bar$z_i"; echo "$$temp\n"; [...] Guess what, yes!!, it is _not_ working. So i start to experiment around and also tried to use eval() but all I ever get was width_bar1, width_bar2, width_bar3 or even worse $width_bar1, $width_bar2 .... and not something like I wanted it: 30, 50, 20 because width_bar1 should be 30 for example and not to print out width_bar1 .... I bash I would do it this way: eval TEMP=\$width_bar$z_i any ideas? thorsten - -- Thorsten Wandersmann Phone: +49-911-8172249 Bonhoefferstr. 79 Mobile: +49-179-6670562 90473 Nuremberg e-Mail: pitu@caipy.de Germany http://www.caipy.de -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Weitere Infos: siehe http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8T2A/QkW0pERqT24RApmEAJ96tIQlBdVrglRchK+QY/D/RZi2gACdEgl8 hBlTw6XUBE26hpsv5rG5/yA= =UCu8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
