One alternative would be to use > table[name] instead. This will lead to $_POST['table']['name']. I think Stut is correct - the period is a concatenation operator. also there are plenty of alertnatives to the Stuts suggested 'table[name]' naming approach. that said given the following code: $f = "my.bad"; $$f = "MY BAD"; echo $f, "\n", $$f, "\n"; ... I personally feel that the $_POST should just contain 'table.name' - which is not an illegal array key - most likely the reason it is (the var name) transformed is due to BC, namely with register_globals set to ON php is required to automatically create a variable $table.name (which is not legal). > > -Stut > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
