RE: [PHP] Variable in a variable.

It would be much easier if you used PHP's array syntax in the form: <input name="name[1]"> <input name="year[1]"> <input name="url[1]"> <input name="name[2]"> <input name="year[2]"> <input name="url[2]"> etc. Then you could just do: foreach($name as $idx => $value){ echo "Name is $value"; echo "Year is $year[$idx]"; echo "URL is $url[$idx]"; } (untested) --Bruce Bruce Christensen Intel Corporation brucex.r.christensen@intel.com -----Original Message----- From: Milton Thomas [mailto:millie@colis.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 01, 2000 4:47 PM To: plist Subject: [PHP] Variable in a variable. I have some variables in a form they are name, year, url. I have 10 rows of these variables. so the are named name1, year1, url1, name2, year2, url2..... when i click submit i want to create a loop from 1 to 10 and read these variables. eg. for($x=1;$x<=10;$x++){ $name_var = "$"."name".$x echo $$name_var } what i am expecting is.. eg name1 ="milton" $name_var="$name1"; $$name_var ="milton" this worked in PHP3 I cant get it to work now. any suggestion Milton C.
