What Tedd means is this: ;-P
BINGO! We have a winner!
For those of you who want to know what I'm doing with the solution,
please review:
http://www.webbytedd.com/bbbb/var-string/index.php
Warning: Geek meters should be worn at all times and exposure should
be limited. All code is shown.
The "problem" that I was seeking a solution for was simply an easier
way to grab POST and GET variables and place them into SESSIONs while
keeping the most current values current.
I'm a little disappointed in the solution because I wanted the
statements to be:
$post_var = sessionize_post($post_var);
$get_var = sessionize_get($ger_var);
But, the function provided by Daniel (and found in the literature)
would not work from within my session_post and session_get functions
-- I think it's probably something to do with the scope of the
variable.
In any event, I had to alter the calls to:
$post_var = @sessionize_post($post_var, vname($post_var));
$get_var = @sessionize_get($get_var, vname($get_var));
You see, there can be reasons why someone would want to know the
variable's name.
Thanks Daniel and to all who commented.
Cheers,
tedd
