Hi
This may not be a 'bug' as such, but it was submitted as much as a
feature request as a bug report, it would be really useful if it did
work as i've described (or at least I think so.) Any chance of this
feature being added to a future version?

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php
You can only use variable variables for the name of the array itself --
you can't specify any subscripts using this mechanism.
I suggest you post the underlying problem you are trying to solve to
php-general to see if anyone has any alternative suggestions.

Description:
I'm trying to use variable variables to build up an array in a
recursive function, but this doesn't seem to be possible.
the following short amount of code illustrates the problem.
$str=array;
${$str}[1]=one;
print_r ($$str);
echo br;
print_r ($array);
.Output..
Array ([1]=one)
Array ([1]=one)
As expected,
However
$str=array[1];
$$str=One;
print_r ($$str);
echo br;
print_r ($array);
Output..
One
No output, ie $array has no value.
Although $str has the value array[1], $$str is not the same as
$array[1], as I believe it should be. (Or needs to be to get my
function to work)
