[PHP] Accessing Variables by Name

[Steven Walker]

Hi,

I couldn't find this in the documentation or on marc... Is there a way 
to access a variable by name using a string value? For example:

$myvariable = 10;
$stringdata = myvariable;
$[$stringdata] == $myvariable;

Obviously the last line is invalid, but is there a way to do this? I 
know about associative arrays, but they do not solve my particular 
problem. TIA.

These are called variable variables, and can 
be read about here:

 http://uk.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.variable.php

Replace your [ ] with { } and you'll be good 
to go.

Philip Olson
