assigning a var from a var array

[Anon]

I'm trying to assign a variable from another variable. e.g. $bla = "test"; I have another variable that is $test[] which has data passed into it by a form. I'm trying to assign a cell with $$bla[1] , but am having no luck. Basicly I want to get "$test[1]" from $$bla[1] but my syntax is wrong...

I could go into a long explaination why I'm trying to do this but... If anyone needs any further info plz post a question. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,
polarz

Check out:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.variable.php

Namely this paragraph

In order to use variable variables with arrays, you have to resolve an ambiguity problem. That is, if you write $$a[1] then the parser needs to know if you meant to use $a[1] as a variable, or if you wanted $$a as the variable and then the [1] index from that variable. The syntax for resolving this ambiguity is: ${$a[1]} for the first case and ${$a}[1] for the second.
