[[SOLVED] Using string value as name]

Excellent. Works like a charm

 

I guess that is why it said 'Expecting $ or variable' when I tried $.$variable

 

Thank you for you help.

[[SOLVED] Using string value as name]

I'm trying to do the following:

$variable = 'Hello';
$.$variable = 'World!';
echo $Hello;

 

In other words: I want to use the value of $variable as a string.

 

Basically what I'm trying to do is have an array with all the names of the variables that I'm using.

Then, when defining a function all I'd need to do is:

 

function hello()
{
    foreach( $array as $variable )
    {
         global $.$variable;
    }
}

 

This can(in my eyes) be useful when you have a long list of variables that you need in more than one function.

Or am I doing something completely wrong here?

 

Any help or another way of doing this is much appreciated
