Greetings.

Does anyone know how to do this?

I have,

$var

$var2

In a field called two_vars in a MySQL db.

I am calling the variables inside PHP document.

In that document I am saying:

$var = "time"
$var2 = "clock"

<!-- I do the query in MySQL here -->

echo "$two_vars";

But the what prints out is

$var $var2
not "time" and "clock".  I know that is what is in the database, but I want
it to replace the variables when printed in the PHP file.

Does this make sense to anyone? Does anyone know how to do this?

If I understand your question properly I'd explode $two_vars with whatever seperator you have between them and then you'll need to use eval to get your results. Maybe something like...


$dbVars=explode(',',$two_vars); // Assuming comma seperator
foreach($dbVars AS $key => $value) {
	$eval="\$temp=".$value.";";
	eval($eval);
	echo $temp;
}
