Re: [PHP] How can I access the value in a variable whos name is in a string

simple.. try this: echo eval($variablename); then again why are you eval()ing at all?? why can't you do this: $var1=var2; $$var1=13; echo $var2; //or perhaps even better: //echo $$var1; seems simple enough.. haven't tested but theory is there I think.. HTH

RE: [PHP] How can I access the value in a variable whos name is in a string

I'm a PHP amateur, but a quick perusal of Eval in the manual says In PHP 4, eval() returns FALSE unless return() is called in the evaluated code, in which case the value passed to return() is returned. In PHP 3, eval() does not return a value. -Original
