note 99516 added to language.variables.variable

Want to access object's property or array value using variable variables but not possible? Here's a workaround to it: <?php function varvar($str){ if(strpos($str,'->') !== false){ // Accessing object property $parts = explode('->',$str); global ${$parts[0]}; return ${$parts[0]}->$parts[1]; }elseif(strpos($str,'[') !== false && strpos($str,']') !== false){ $parts = explode('[',$str); global ${$parts[0]}; $parts[1] = substr($parts[1],0,strlen($parts[1])-1); return ${$parts[0]}[$parts[1]]; }else{ global ${$str}; return ${$str}; } } $arrayTest = array('value0', 'value1', 'test1'=> 'value2', 'test2'=> 'value3'); $objectTest = (object)$arrayTest; $test = 'arrayTest[1]'; var_dump(varvar($test)); // string(6) "value1" var_dump($$test); // NULL $test2 = 'objectTest->test2'; var_dump(varvar($test2)); // string(6) "value3" var_dump($$test2); // NULL ?> Cheers Sam-Mauris Yong ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 218.186.8.230 (proxied: 116.88.226.181) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.variable.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/99516 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99516/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99516/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99516/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99516/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99516/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99516/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99516 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/99516 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
