This might be interesting ...
The function extract() allows you to extract all values from an array
and prefix them with a specified string. What I didn't know until
just a second ago was that you can supply a function as a string, so
...
$my_array = array("a","b","c","d",array("a","b","c","d"));
$i = 1;
extract($my_array,EXTR_PREFIX_ALL,"SOMEVAL".$i++);
print "<pre>";
print $SOMEVAL_1;
print $SOMEVAL_2;
print $SOMEVAL_3;
print $SOMEVAL_4;
print $SOMEVAL_5;
print "</pre>";
... will produce:
a
b
c
d
[Array]
Which is cool. Not quite what you wanted, but maybe you could run with it.
