Hi Mark, That would be a great idea, but it's not my code. The client has used some kind of program that's created these long variables. It generates the pages using the questions stripped of spaces as the variable (I'm guessing). These are then hard coded to various pages.
I thought they may be a limit on the length of a $var name, but there doesn't seem to be. The page gathers info from a form, save it in a flat file, and emails the client. It looked rather strange when I first saw it, as there's about 30 questions. As it seems to be working and they are happy, I'm leaving well alone. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, August 12, 2005 2:17 PM Subject: Re: [php-list] Max length of a var > This might be a silly question, but is there some reason you don't > use an array?
