Create a variable from array value.

[Domcsore]

I currently have this:

$engineSuffix = '.global_conf.php';
	$objSuffix = '_conf';

	$engine[0] = 'template';
	$engine[1] = 'admin';

	$engineCount = count($engine);

	$e = 0;

	while ($e<$engineCount){
		include_once($engine[$e].$engineSuffix);
		$e++;

	}

 

but I would like something like this:

$engineSuffix = '.global_conf.php';
	$objSuffix = '_conf';

	$engine[0] = 'template';
	$engine[1] = 'admin';

	$engineCount = count($engine);

	$e = 0;

	while ($e<$engineCount){
		include_once($engine[$e].$engineSuffix);
		$e++;

                        $'VALUE OF ARRAY $engine[$e] AND VALUE OF $objSuffix AS VARIABLE NAME' = new $engine[$e];

	}

 

Is there a way to do this?

I see what you mean.

Assign the result of the array to a variable. We'll use a string for exaple

$myvariable = 'Array';
$$variable2 = 'array2';

$$variable, is infact $Array, and holds the value "array2"

Exactly what I need cheers mate.

Hmn I wrote up a test script and tried inserting:

${$engine[$e].$objSuffix} = new $engine[$e];

 

into the while loop but failed to work?

I'm not sure if its the same thing.. but try..

$var = $engine[$e].$objSuffix;
$$var = new $engine[$e];

An error again... I think it does not recognise the engine variable as a class so does not like it, however, I get an error saying maximum file size exceeded which seems as if the loop keeps repeating over and over?

[TeddyKiller]

$var = $engine[$e].$objSuffix;

echo $var;

 

Does this produce a different value until the while loop ends?

[Domcsore]

Sorry for late reply, but yes if I just run that it displays admin_conf and template_conf as it should. ($engine[0] and [1] are 'admin' and 'template' and $objSuffix is '_conf')

[TeddyKiller]

What exactly gets echo'd. If there is spaces inside the string.. then you could try..

${$var} = new $engine[$e];

It might be illegal characters for variable names.

Why do you want to asign it to a variable anyway.. there might be another solution?

Basically what I am trying to do is load extend classes from a separate file, however I just want the files to include and create a new object automatically from the array name given. For example my template class would be like so:

 

file name: template.global_conf.php

 

that would be a template class which is an extend of my global_conf class.

 

so in my global_conf class __construct function I have it so it includes the files automatically as shown above however I have issues trying to create the template object in the loop.

 

(Should have really explained my objective to start, sorry)
