Setting variables from an array

Anon

This is the problem,

I am querying a table that returns many results

if (is_array($link_document))
{
while(list($key, $value) = each($link_document))
{

echo ("$value <br>");
}

}
?>

I would like to assign seperate variables to each individual result,

how d I do this?

You can try eval....

eval("\$key = \$value;");

I have am building an application that will create documents for interneal proccess fr DHL, a user will look at an <option></option>
box and will select multiple selections
hee multiple selections will be outputed to an html page that they can preview before submiting for approval.

After the review there selections I want to take the selected <options></options> wich is an array and insert thim into a database. my problem is how do I assign them diffrent $variable names for database insert.

Example
I am trying to name results form a query that produces an array, How do I name each individual result a different $variable name?

my query output looks like this

if (is_array($link_document))
{
while(list($key, $value) = each($link_document))

{
echo ("$value <br>");
}

The result is something like this

AM101010
AM102020
AM230410
CS102910
CS102030

I want to name each result so I can pass it to a INSERT INTO sql statement

It would execute the string as if it was a line of code. I made a mistake in the previous one.

eval("\$$key = '$value';");

If $key was 'this' and $value was 'that', the string would read...

$this = 'that';

so if you evaled the string, the variable $this would equal 'that'.

I have this array

if (is_array($link_document))
{

while(list($key, $value) = each($link_document))

{
$link_document_temp = ("$value");
echo ("$link_document_temp <br>");

}

The result is this

AM101010
AM102020
AM230410
CS102910
CS102030

I want to name EACH of the results their own $variable name

AM101010 $variable_1
AM102020 $variable_2
AM230410 $variable_3
CS102910 $variable_4
CS102030 $variable_5

Then I will INSERT INTO a database the $variables

How do I do this?

Please help

If I'm reading it right, and the array of link_document is indexed numerically...

if (is_array($link_document))
{

while(list($key, $value) = each($link_document))

{
$key++;
eval("\$variable_$key = '$value';");
}

}

echo $variable_2;

This would produce...
AM102020

I am trying to combine two string variables to one variable.

Suppose I have:

$car1 = 'Honda';

$type= 'car';
$page = 1;

I tried the eval:

$str = "\$type" . $page;
eval( "\$str = \"$str\";" );

and echoed $str but it didnt work. The need $str to output 'Honda'.

Any ideas???

Try this....

$car1 = 'Honda';

$type= 'car';
$page = 1;

$str = $type . $page;
eval( "\$str = $str;" );
