(please reply to me as well as the list, as I'm not subscribed)
I'm trying to generate variable names dynamically, based on
information read from a MySQL database. When a user creates an
account, they're asked to choose from a list of groups to which they
belong (by clicking checkboxes in an HTML form). This list is
generated in real-time from the database. Each group's checkbox is
given a name based on their group id number, which works fine.
(The code looks like this, ai_info[0] is the group ID number:
while ($ai_info = mysql_fetch_array ($academic_interest_result)){
if ($ai_counter==0)
{
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td width=\"37\" bgcolor=\"white\" align=\"right\">";
echo "<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"$ai_info[0]\" value=\"1\">";
echo "</td>";
echo "<td width=\"230\" bgcolor=\"white\" align=\"left\">";
echo $ai_info[1];
echo "</td>";
$ai_counter = 1;
}
else
{
echo "<td width=\"37\" bgcolor=\"white\" align=\"right\">";
echo "<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"$ai_info[0]\" value=\"1\">";
echo "</td>";
echo "<td width=\"230\" bgcolor=\"white\" align=\"left\">";
echo $ai_info[1];
echo "</td></tr>";
$ai_counter = 0;
}
}
)
So that part is cool.
The question comes when the form of which these are part is
submitted. A seperate page processes the results. I need it to
access the database, generate a list of the group id's (using the
same fetch_array syntax), create a variable name, and then check if
that variable is == 1.
Does that make sense?
So if, on the first page, someone submits the form with group id 293
checked, a variable $293==1 is passed to the data processing page.
WHat I need to do is generate the variable $293 on the second page
(from the string "$" and the database value "293") so that I can use
it in an if statement.
Any thoughts?
Okay, I hope that made sense....

Eventually all things merge into one, and a river runs through it.
The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from
the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops.
Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs.
I am haunted by waters.
