Hi gang I'm suffering under the lack of an SQL, which would've made this loads easier, so instead I'm forced at using a bunch of arrays to keep track of the info instead...
But here's the prob: I'm working on a list of premieredates for movies. Here's the HTML version I made to figure out how to make it into PHP: http://metalbunny.net/dk/film/ (it's in Danish, don't let that confuse you). The current one is static HTML, but I want it to be dynamic PHP, as it, naturally, will make it easier to add to/update the list. So, without the benefit of a database, I'm using arrays, as this: // array with premiere dates $premieredag = array("2002-11-22","2002-11-29","2002-12-06","2002-12-18","2002-12-25","2003-01-03","2003-01-17","2003-01-24"); // each date has its own array, with partial filenames for each movie $d20021122 = array("001"); $d20021129 = array("002","003","004"); $d20021206 = array("005","006","007"); // ... and so on ... I need the string from $premieredag to build the date heading. But want I want to do, is to be able to convert the string contents into the variable name used for each date's array ... so that I pull $premieredag[0] and convert the string from "2002-11-22" into $d20021122, which is easy enough, as a string, but how can I make PHP understand that I want to pull data from the array that is named that??? Current experimental design gives nothing but errors ... so it's useless ... How do you convert a string value into a variable name??? Lost here ... I've only ever done something like this once in JS a looong time ago, and can't even remember how...
