[SOLVED] mysql_fetch_array index not working

[dsaba]

I'm doing this:

<?php
$var = $row['title_en'];
?>

 

that works perfectly and fetches from the fieldname named: title_en

 

now I do this:

<?php
$lang = 'en';
$var = $row['title_'.$lang];
?>

 

it doesnt work

 

 

so i try this:

<?php
$var = $row["title_$lang"];
?>

still doesn't work

 

 

my goal is to call the fieldname: title_en using the variable $lang which equals: en

 

p.s. I have also echoed out $lang, and it does indeed equal: en

 

how do I do it?

 

-going crazy over something so simple, thanks

Try:

$lang = 'en';
$row = 'title';
$row = $row.$lang
$var = $row[$row];

 

Or try:

$lang = 'en';
$var = $row[title.$lang];

 

I haven't tried it so it might not work...

[dsaba]

I tried both of those still doesn't work!!!

 

What am I doing wrong!!!

Holy crap this is frustrating....

<?php
$row['title_en'] = "TEST";

$lang = 'en';
$var = $row['title_'.$lang];


echo $var;//workds fine!!

?>

[dsaba]

aha! i figured it out

 

I was making the $lang variable in a function

and I forgot to global $lang;

 

fixed

 

I was echoing the variable in the function, thinking that it echoed, no wonder...

 

 

-thanks for your help
