How to use a variable variable with an array

Hi Al,

many thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately I don’t know the deepness of the array so I can’t use the nested foreach() idea :-( Let me try to simplify my question (which also helps myself to clarify my process ;-)

I have a variable where the value is a string that is exactly the path to the array value:

[code]
    $arrayPath = "['user_interface’][‘design']['my_colors']['item_number_one’]”;
[/code]

And I have an array that has all the details:

[code]
    $myArray = coolFunction(‘getArray’);
[/code]

The question is, how can I use these both informations to return a value from the $myArray?

Examples I tried unsuccessfully:

[code]
    [...]
    echo $myArray$arrayPath;
    echo $myArray{$arrayPath};
    echo $myArray${arrayPath};
    echo $myArray${$arrayPath};
    echo $myArray.$arrayPath;
    echo $myArray.$arrayPath;
    [...]
[/code]
    etc...

your feedback is much much much appreciated!!!

Cheers, Nils
