foreach, use a variable in variable name?

[rockinaway]

If I have a foreach like:

 

foreach($array as $key => $value)

 

And I want to make a variable like:

 

$var_$key = .....

 

I want the $key yo be replaced with the key from the array, what do I do to make it work?

Look into variable variables http://uk3.php.net/variables.variable

I read it but didn't quite understand it ???

Sorry couldn't edit, but how would I do it for what I want doing, which is shown in first post???

Do this:

${'var_' . $key} = $value;

So what that will do is create a variable called var_ followed by the value $key. So if key was set to 'foobar' it would create a variable called $var_foobar

Why do you want to use a variable instead of the array reference?
