Known limitation. I don't know yet if this has been documented already, there's another report about this issue though. Marking as duplicate for now. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-05 12:58:27] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello :-) The definition of a variable variable as superglobal works fine when put in the main coding (i.e. not within a function or method). Example: <?php $aVariable = 'GET'; echo ${"_{$aVariable}"}; ?> The system output is: Array In the next example however, where the same code is put into a function, the resulting output is a error message instead: <?php function aFunction() { $aVariable = 'GET'; echo ${"_{$aVariable}"}; } aFunction(); ?> The system output is: Notice: Undefined variable: _GET in Bestand.php on line 6. Also when $_GET has been defined as global (which should not be necessary) this malfunction remains. Suggested intermediate solution: <?php function aFunction() { $aVariable = 'GET'; echo $GLOBALS["_{$aVariable}"]; } aFunction(); ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17017&edit=1
