electrix Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I've been googl'ing for the last 3 hours now without luck...example:--------------------$number="00";--------------------$_$number="$number"echo $_00; --------------------This should display "00" on the screen.I'm not a newbie with this so don't gimme the "echo $number should work"-speach.That's not what I want as in $number is actually a variable number taken from a user-inserted database.Easiest explanation:I want the name of the variabel ($number=) should be the same as the value (= $var;)Hope any1 understand what I mean...

wildteen88 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 You mean you wnat to create a variable that has the same name as its value? Ie you ahve variable holds the number 1234 and you want to create a new variable which has the name 1234 and holds the value of 1234If you do then you'll want to use curly braces:[code=php:0]$num = '1235';${'_' . $num} = $num;echo $_1235;[/code]Note if you want to the variabled to be $1234, then you cannot do that as variable names must not start with a number.
