Variable in a Variable?

[ChrisMartino]

Ok so i want to do this somebody please tell me if it would work?

 

" $filedir = "/file/path/$username"; "

 

[Alex]

$var = '$filedir = "/file/path/$username";';

[ChrisMartino]

can var be anything?

[Alex]

Yes.

[ChrisMartino]

This doesn't even work :/

 

                                                $var = '$upload_path = "/Main/Uploads/$User";';

echo $upload_path;

Its because your $var contains a string.. It does not set any variable.. Ive never seen anybody try and set a variable in that manner.

What exactly is this for?  There is probably a valid way to do this..

[ChrisMartino]

Its the upload path of the file i need it to upload the file to the dir /Main/Uploads/$username

 

$username is there username that there logged in with, I need the file to be there username :/

Do you mean

$var = $upload_path = "/Main/Uploads/$username";
    echo $upload_path; // Returns /Main/Uploads/Foobar
    echo $var; // Returns /Main/Uploads/Foobar

 

You can assign two variables at once, but your original 'variable within a variable' question doesn't make so much sense.

 

That $var = .. I'm not sure why you're doing, you can just do:

$upload_path = "/Main/Uploads/$username";

 

And it will fill the $username variable accordingly.
