Dynamically Creating Variables

[martyn]

Ok i need to create variables on the go, here is the situation:

I get a value from $row[name], lets say "title".
And i get a value from $row[value], lets say "home".

I need to make $title_temp = "home";

I need the "_temp" bit just incase of interfearence from other variables etc.

Can this be done?

Thanks A Lot,

Hi

I can see what your trying to do. Iam unsure how or even if you can achieve this but it does sound interesting. Although your post is a little more confusing compared to how you explained to me via MSN.

As far as I know but Iam usually wrong you cant actually create a variable on the fly or dynamically as you call it but there again theres bound to be some whizz out there who knows how to achieve this.

Good luck in finding the anwser, Ill be watching this space as I need to know as well. Be grateful too as you got my first post and got me to sign up for PHPBuilder something Ive never done before,

Must be off

Ok peeps i did it, wonna know how?

Well like this:

$a = $row[name];
$$a = $row[value];

(using the same variables for the $row array as above)

This makes a variable $title containing "home".

Well thats all folks 😉
