Eval problem

[motoxpress]

I am trying to embed a variable within a variable like this:

$item_$i_color;

Here is a sample of the eval code I am using:

$sql .= "$item$i_color;= '$item$i_color";
$sql = addslashes($sql);
eval("\$sql = \"$sql\";");
$sql = stripslashes($sql);

I can't seem to make this work.

What is the proper syntax?

/me thinks you might want to look at variable variables in the manual.

Thanks for the tip. Didn't know it was there.
