I probably did not express myself clearly; I thought I did:
"place array * *values ** into * *$variables **"
the output of $myvar above is Array. That, I knew. And that does not
extract. I can see what is in the array in several ways; the problem is
to get the output into $var1, $var2, $var3 ... etc. How do I convert:
$category[$categoryID]['category'] into up to 4 different variables that I can manipulate?
My code above outputs text like this: "CivilizationGods And GoddessesHistorical
PeriodsSociology & Anthropology"
