It would probably be better to do this without using eval(). I would just use an array, but if you really want the solution above, something like the code below should work. <?php $string = "this string text blah"; foreach (explode (' ', $string) as $key => $value) { ++$key; ${"var$key"} = $value; } ?> -- --zak "We must be the change we wish to see." - M.
