I think I understand your question.  Perhaps what you want is not a variable
variable -- but a variable (determined from the context).
Variables always vary depending on the situation as opposed to a constant
which - uhh -- stays constant.  Combine the variable and the constant in a
new variable first with concatenation.

$question_pointer = $xxx . "_name_en";

$get_question_data[$question_pointer]

Hi, I'm trying to make a script but have a problem ...

How could I do this:

I'd like to use   $get_question_data[xxx_name_en]

where xxx would be a variable variable according to the situation where


the


script is called... how would I do this?

tried :

$get_question_data[$test_name_en]
$get_question_data[{$test}_name_en]
${get_question_data[$test_name_en]}

but nothing works .... any help would be appreciated.

$var = 'heh';
$get_question_data[{$$var}_name_en];

Hopefully that would parse to $get_question_data[$heh_name_eh]
