right? wrong? out of my mind?

<?
$value = "1";

$page = "value";

$secure = "$$page";

if ($secure == 1) {
echo "it works";
}
else{
echo "it didn't work";
}
?>

I have never really though about having to do this before. The above example does work. I just cannot believe you can turn a value into a varible that easily.

There has got to be something wrong with doing it that way. Anybody know if there is a better way that I should be using or is that the way it is done.

Hi!
You should read this: http://www.php.net/language.variables.variable

That's whyI had though I had seen something like that before. I had read it on their web site a long time ago. Their site has so much info that once you see something you may never find it again.
