Dynamically Changing Dynamic Variables

[imnsi]

If I wanted to name the following variable names listed in the following array.. If I wanted to give them all a value of "completed" how would I do that..

$variablesArray = array('schoolwork', 'homework', 'project4');

function markComplete ($currentVariableName){

$currentVariableName = 'completed'; //how do I set variables dynamically? ??

};

array_walk($variablesArray, 'markComplete');

i suggest you use an associative array with the tasks as the keys and their status as the values:

$variablesArray = array(
'schoolwork' => 'incomplete',
'homework' => 'incomplete',
'project4' => 'incomplete'
);

then when your "homework" is done simply do:

$variablesArray['homework'] = 'complete';
