[Resolved] findin the variable name

[g7ibby]

This may seemlike a weird and useless question but it has a bigger meaning to the project.

I need to know how to determine the name of a string from another variable and then output the results.

$a = 'X';

$b = 'a';

echo "$$b";

I know the above only returns $b so how can I get it to echo the value of $a by gathering the name of $a from $b???

Thanks.

$a = 'Y'; //dynamicly named variable
$b = 'a'; //found posible name from list
$c = $$b; // creates known variable name with dynamic value
echo "$c"; //returns $a dynamicly
