Can an arrays name be a variable variable?

[Vigilante]

I want to set arrays whose names are the ID of teh user whose data they contain so I can call them by $$userid[fieldname].

What I have so far is this but I'm not sure how to proceed. It's either possible or not I guess.

You have to make the variable name with the curly brackets.. I don't think you can have a number as a variable name, so you may have to prefix it with a letter or some other text.

Hope it helps.

Code

$b1[0]='ooh';
$b1[1]='la';
$b1[2]='lah';

echo "1. ".${'b'.'1'}[0]."<br>";
echo "2. ".${'b'.'1'}[1]."<br>";
echo "3. ".${'b'.'1'}[2]."<br>";

foreach (${'b'.'1'} as $bip) {
	echo $bip."<br>";
}

Screen Output

1. ooh
2. la
3. lah
ooh
la
lah

It seems to me you're are making this more difficult than necessary by messing with variable variables.

Why not just use a 2-dimensional array with the userid as the first index? e.g.

$userinfo[$userid]['fieldname']
