Hi. Quick set of eyes needed to see what I've done wrong... The following is a reduced example ... <?php $Set = array(); $Entry = 'Set[1]'; $Value = 'Assigned'; $$Entry = $Value; print_r($Set); ?> The output is an empty array. Examining $GLOBALS, I end up with an entries ... [Set] => Array ( ) [Entry] => Set[1] [Value] => Assigned [Set[1]] => Assigned According to http://docs.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.basics.php, a variable named Set[1] is not a valid variable name. The [ and ] are not part of the set of valid characters. In testing all the working V4 and V5 releases I have, the output is always an empty array, so it looks like it is me, but the invalid variable name is an issue I think. Regards, Richard. NOTE: The above is a simple test. I'm trying to map in nested data to over 10 levels. -- Richard Quadling. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
