Re: looping the query_string into a $var=$value

Interesting... You should check out the 'eval' function: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.eval.php This can be used to evaluate a string as if its PHP code. Its tricky to use, so you will probably have to do a bit of trial and error, but the required code would look something like this: // you want something like this: $foo = "bar"; $php_to_eval = "\$" . addslashes($key) .

    " = \"" . addslashes($value) "\";";

eval($php_to_eval); You'll need to be VERY careful with $key and $value... make sure it doesn't contain any quotes by using addslashes()... otherwise you just opened up a hacker hole. Read the comments to the documentation at the bottom of the URL above. There's lots of people giving useful tips and tricks... -- Brian 'Bex' Huff bex@stellent.com Phone: 952-903-2023 Fax: 952-829-5424 > > I was wondering how I can loop over the QUERY_STRING server variable to > make all the get variables into a localized variables.
