variables

[incarnate]

is there a way to turn the value of a variable into a variable without setting it in the first var?

ex.
$n = 11;

I want to turn 11 into a variable ($11).
(well let's just say 11 is also a variable because I called it from a db) Err, sorry if no one uderstands that.

See the manual, under Variable variables....

People usually don't use numbers as variables - usually its made of a certein work, but what so ever this is the right way to do what you wanted:

$var="11";
$var2=${$var}; // $var2=$11

Thanks for the link & example, I just used $$var.
