Seams not to be possible

This was just an error in my explenation I ment categories. Meanwhile I tryed var vars, but it does not work for any reason?!?!? My code looks like: $field = $categories[0]."[0]"; echo $field; // returns glacier[0] echo 'var '.$$field.'<br>'; // returns bluddy nothing echo $categories[0]; // returns glacier echo $glacier[0]; // returns 110 Does anybody know how to get the 110 out of the array?????
