Imagine you have a database which is crowded with tables, you'll need prefixes for the table-names to make them easier to maintain. But you also want an easy access with PHP. <?php $tablePrefix = 'music_'; // db table prefix $tableVarPrefix = 'tbl'; // variable table prefix $tables = Array( // table BASE names 'introtexts', 'languages', 'projects', 'project_categories', 'ratings', 'reviewer', 'reviews', 'tracks' ); // Generation of global vars: foreach($tables as $t) { $varName = $tabelVarPrefix.strtoupper($t{0}).substr($t,1,strlen($t)); $$varName = $tablePrefix.$t; } ?> So you have all tables well defined as: music_introtexts, music_languages, ... These strings are stored like this: $tblIntrotexts = 'music_introtexts'; $tblLanguages = 'music_languages'; This can safe some time if you do a lot with databases... ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+40181 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+40181&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+40181&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
