Is there anyway to convert a string to a variable

example

$str="monday"; 

I would like to then do this:

$monday="blah";

RTFM ;-

$$str = "blah";
print $monday;

RE: [PHP] Converting String to Variable

[Randy Johnson]

it may look weird but that is the way it needs to be done. here is a better
example

$str=myfunct()  this returns monday

then i want the monday to turn into this

$monday

so i can do this

$monday="BlaH";

thanks

randy

Here's my question: why do you want to do this, and is there a better way to
do this, say a hash list or something?


BTW, isn't monday defined as a constant that always equals "blah!"  It
always has for me.

extract() does something like that for arrays. There's no way to write the code
the way you have it, but you could use this syntax, which is equivalent:
$$str = "blah";
$GLOBALS[$str] = "blah";
