From: steve at oneniltrade dot com Operating system: Linux PHP version: 4.3.2 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Use of $$var and arrays
Description: ------------ I'm trying to use variable variables to build up an array in a recursive function, but this doesn't seem to be possible. the following short amount of code illustrates the problem. $str="array"; ${$str}[1]="one"; print_r ($$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) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24335&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24335&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24335&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24335&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24335&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24335&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24335&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24335&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24335&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24335&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24335&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24335&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24335&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24335&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24335&r=gnused
