Variable problem

danielson2k

I currently have the following loop which loops through all the GET variables that have been sent:


foreach($HTTP_GET_VARS as $keyname => $keyvalue){

$keyname = $keyvalue;

}

The idea is to create a load of variables rather than using the $HTTP_GET_VARS array.

The problem i'm having is creating a variable called whatever $keyname is equal to. In the loop above, each loop just assigns $keyvalue to a variable called $keyname.

I have a feeling the solution is something really simple too... :rolleyes:

Hi,

If I am correct:

 extract($_GET)

gives you all the var's stored in the $_GET array.

Aha, thanks for the help 🙂

Altho an answer to the original question would still be helpful for future reference ie:

Using the following values:

$variable_name = "name";
$variable_value = "Dan";

How do I go about creating the following variable:

$name = "Dan";

devinemke

$variable_name = 'name';
$variable_value = 'Dan';

$$variable_name = $variable_value;

you now have a variable called "name" whose value is "Dan"

foreach($HTTP_GET_VARS as $keyname => $keyvalue){

$$keyname = $keyvalue; 
 // Notice the extra $

}
