Php variables/arrays

[meghatronic]

Is it possible to name an array based on two other variable names?

E.g.

$str1 . $str2 = = array();

So if strr1 = choc, str=cy, the array would be called "choccy"?

Why do you want to do that, anyway? (might be an alternative solution )

As this isn't working:

$count = 0;
foreach ($arr_im_iname as &$id){
//blah blah blah
	foreach ($arr_im_iseq[$count] as &$id){
	echo $arr_im_iseq[$count][0];
	}
$count = $count +1;
}

Off out, will explain more late unless my flaw is obvious.

$foo = 'bar';
$bar = 'Hello World';
echo $$foo;

output:

Hello World

Other examples:

echo ${$foo . $bar};
echo ${'foo' . 'bar'};

Doh! I rewrote it now... cheers though!

Why exactly would you want to dynamically name a variable?

I didn't really.. it was a lazy shortcut.

Settled it with simple multi-dimensional array.

I do this

Backend CMS system I am creating using the __construct function in a class and I only define one of the many classes.

$com_name = 'com_' . $this->comName;
${$com_name} = new $com_name;

It can come in use sometimes and is worth knowing

Que?
