Convert string into variable

[Anon]

Dears,

Which php function can convert a string into variable?

Sincerely yours,

Just assign the value to a variable:

$a="hello";

I think he wants to then use "hello" as $hello... maybe not, but if so, just use the double $$, like this:

$a = "hello";
$hello = "hi";

echo $$a; (this will output "hi")

You can use the following syntax...

${"string"}

For example say I have variables $Q1 to $Q20
I want printed, I could use the following...

$i = 1;
while ($i < 21)
{
$var = ${"Q" . $i};
print($var);
$i++;
}

Hopefully that helps,
