array and variable trick?

[jpmoriarty]

wondering if i can do this...

i have an array of all my variable names (eg $form[1]=name, $form[2]=address etc), and i want to do a link of the sort:

<a href="file.php?name=$name&address=$address">

Now since all the names i want to pass back are the same as their names (as it were) I wanted to do a loop which did something like:

for($i=0;$i<15;$i++)
echo "$form[$i]=&$$form[$i]"

if that makes sense - ie output the value for the array, and then output the value of the variable of the same name.

Can i do that? am i trying to do it in a very convoluted way? any assistnace gratefully received!

i had a mistake elsewhere in the script that was stopping that from working - but it did! So if anyone's interested, you just put 2$ signs and then the variable:

$$variable

and that will display the value of the variable with the name $variable.... sounds overly complicated to me, but it works!
