Evaluate my eval()

lance

I have a script the needs to dynamically select the name of the proper array and then get data from the array. I am attempting to use eval for this purpose but it is not working.

Here is my code *************

$temp = '\$page';
$temp .= "$pageid";
$temp .= '_array';
print("$pageid");
print("$temp");
eval("\$temp = \"$temp\";");
print("$temp");

//hard coded line works
print("$page1557_array[h1]");

//the output for
//the hard coded line (above)
//and the dynamic line (below)
//should be the same,
//but they are not!!

//dynamic line does not work
print("$temp[h1]");

here is the output for the above code ****

1557

\$page1557_array

$page1557_array

h1, this is the text for h1

You're enclosing the \$ in hard quotes, hence the extra \ in your output.
