What Tedd means is this: ;-P <? function vname(&$var,$scope=false,$prefix='unique',$suffix='value') { if($scope) { $vals = $scope; } else { $vals = $GLOBALS; } $old = $var; $var = $new = $prefix.rand().$suffix; $vname = FALSE; foreach($vals as $p => $v) { if($v === $new) { $vname = $p; } } $var = $old; return $vname; } ?> -- </Dan> Daniel P.
