[PHP] Creating Dynamic Variables
Hello, I have captured variables from any HTML that is POSTed to me from a 'foreach' clause. Now, possibly in this foreach clause I want to register these name/value pairs into a session var. I have tried : session_start(); foreach ($HTTP_POST_VARS as $name=$value) { $name=$value; session_register(name); //without the $ } and get nothing. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Try putting around name in session_register? Hello, I have captured variables from any HTML that is POSTed to me from a 'foreach' clause.

Assuming register_globals is off: session_start(); foreach ($HTTP_POST_VARS as $name = $value) { $$name = $value; session_register($name); } Remember, $name only contains the name of the variable, not a reference to the variable itself. To create a new global variable with the name $name, you have to use a variable variable, hence $$name. Session_register, however, only requires a string which contains the name of the variable you want to register. $name will provide that by itself. In your example, by leaving off the dollar sign, you are referencing an undefined constant called name... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
