variable name concatenate question.

[despyz]

Hi, I was wondering how I would go about concatenating a variable name, for example:

let us say I have the variable:

$test = "hello";

now somewhere else I want to take the value of $test and use it as a variable, so in the case above, I would be using $hello.

Is this possible to do?

many thanks!

$test = "hello";
$$test = "value";

that means

echo $test; // will echo hello
echo $hello // will echo value

That second line creates a variable, which is named after the value in the variable test (hello).

It's called variable variables if you want more info from php.net
