Need help with variables

I am trying to assign a bunch of strings to some Template variables where: I have an array $day[n] where n is 0-34 and contain strings. I have Template variables named "DAYn", where n is a number 1-35. The template parsing is up and running, so i have left that part out. // Do it! for ($i = 0; $i <= 34; $i++) { // Need help with this part $j = $i + 1; $var = ${"DAY".$j}; $val = $day[$i]; // Set PHPLIB Template variable $t->set_var( $var => $val ); } // Do the rest (like parse templates) I have tried so many different combinations that i don't remember them all - The one above being the most recent. Not that it worked any better than any of the other ones... I have read Variable variables in the online manual. If that was on the right track - it must mean that i am just too stupid to get it right. Please help! -- Michel Laine
