Not sure if its me or the configuration of PHP

I am trying to get the value of a variable, a variable variable

ie

// From Form
$name = "My Name";
-----------------------------------

// from a list of values in a file
$var="name";

$value=$$var;
i// I thought I could do something as simple as this to get the correct value "My Name" into $value.


print " $value ";
// should print "My Name", I zip.

I have played around with this bit of code from operators part of the manual and this does not appear to work, well for me at least.

$foo = "test";
$$bar = "this is";

echo "${$bar} $foo"; // prints "this is test"
Note: it is the same as
echo "$test $foo";   // *****  for me it only prints out "test"


Any Ideas

Cheers

Neil
