Re: [PHP-DB] variable and MySQL
I think I understand your question. Perhaps what you want is not a variable
variable -- but a variable (determined from the context).
Variables always vary depending on the situation as opposed to a constant
which - uhh -- stays constant. Combine the variable and the constant in a
new variable first with concatenation.
$question_pointer = $xxx . _name_en;
$get_question_data[$question_pointer]

Subject: [PHP-DB] variable and MySQL
Hi, I'm trying to make a script but have a problem ...
How could I do this:
I'd like to use $get_question_data[xxx_name_en]
where xxx would be a variable variable according to the situation where
the
script is called... how would I do this?
tried :
$get_question_data[$test_name_en]
$get_question_data[{$test}_name_en]
${get_question_data[$test_name_en]}
but nothing works any help would be appreciated.

$var = 'heh';
$get_question_data[{$$var}_name_en];
Hopefully that would parse to $get_question_data[$heh_name_eh]

Re: [PHP-DB] variable and MySQL
Not entirely sure what you are wanting, but if you want a variable
variable, just use a double $ sign. eg:
$fred = 'var2';
$var2 = 'value of var 2';
echo $$fred;
will echo 'value of var 2'
