In some examples above the following snipplet is being used: reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS); while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS)) { //do something crazy with the $val eval("\$" . "\$key = \"$val\";"); } Actually you don't need eval to do this! Remember that PHP has this already built in. Just use this snipplet: reset ($_POST); while (list($key,$val) = each($_POST)) { $$key = $val; } The '$$' does the job!
