How do you set a Variable Variable?

[Anon]

Hey guys, I've been kicking this around a bit now, and I'm running into the problem of setting a Variable variable..

Trying to figure this out,

$i=0;
while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
$i++;
$VarName="feature$i";
$VarNameContents=${$VarName};

// HOw do I do this next line? Right now, it
// sets that Variable to the Data, not the
// Variable Variable...
$VarNameContents=$myrow[DataForVarContents];
}

Thanks

you've got it right, sort of ...

instead of
$VarNameContents=$myrow[DataForVarContents];

use:
${$VarName}=$myrow[DataForVarContents];

NOTE: ${$VarName} is equiv to $$VarName;

hope this helps
