Variable variable

[Anon]

ok I have a for statement that goes like this

for($j = 0; $j < $numfeilds; $j++)
{
$ff = '$feild$j'
$$ff = htmlentities(mysql_result($getfollowups_query, $i, "$ff"));
}
and what I need is for $$ff to be a variable with the name of $ff is it possible?

Well, only problem here is at:

$ff = '$field$j'

You need double quotes so it will parse the $j to whatever it is like:

$ff = "$field$j";

That should work 😉

Hope that helps
