Ok i can't believe I need help in php but I can't figure this out... If i have an array,
lets say called test, how do i get a certain value from that array when referencing it dynamically
by either a string or another variable? Example: CODE $test=array(1,2,5);
$name="test"; //Doesn't work: echo $$name[0]; /Doesn't
work: echo ${$name}[0]; ...

I've got a problem with global variables. /sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":("
border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> I've read and re-read the stuff about that on php.net and did that
a few times more, and I'm still not able to make it work. Could somebody please fix my code?

Hello, I am trying to make an employee application. I was just wondering if anyone knows how to spot

Say I have a variable such as $nav_item and it had to contents Home . IE: CODE
$nav_item = 'Home'; How would I make so that $nav_item was an array and
had the following contents? CODE $nav_item = array ('h', 'o',
'm', 'e'); With the case changing (ie H would become h and U
would become u ) EDIT: Okay found out that I could change the case with
array_change_key_case ($nav_item, CASE_LOWER); ...

I have a single page template which has a Form on it. Logic is to check for a valid Querystring and
place the variables accepted from a form back into the form and re-display this form with error or
acceptance messages. I'm sure everyone here has done this a million times. The Form accepts
data from a user for First name, Last name, email address, and message-body named
'note_wide' then re-displays the values into the Form, but for some reason, I can't get
the value to display into a Textarea. Sample of the php code is as follows: first the good one:...

Hey guys. I was wondering if there is an alternative to using file(). I'm trying to read a file
and store it into an array without using the file function. Before, I was doing something like this:
CODE <?php  $file = file("http://yahoo.com"); ?> Simple.
It gets the contents of index.html at yahoo.com and store each line in an array. Well, I was
wondering if there is another code that could do that without using the file function. Thanks for
helping!...

I have a input box in a form called "button" and when the user clicks Submit! I want php to
determine whether or not this is a url or just text. All urls have "http://" in them so I have
decided I need a script which can determine whether or not "http://" is in a variable or a string.
The problem with using strings is that I've never needed to use them before (and thus have no
knowledge about them). When I was using asp, I knew there was a function called instr() but I
can't find php's equivalent. Does anybody know? Thanks in advance!...

Okay I'm very new to PHP still, although you may recognize me from the threa before, just go
finished finals so now back to PHP! On one page I accept an input which will tell the next page
how many form lines to generate, that part I have worked out, or so I think. Because the number of
forum fields could vary I need to have a number of forum variables, so I used this code: CODE
echo   "<td><input name=\"wname" . $appendval . "\"
type=\"text\" id=\"wname" . $appendval . "...

ok this is my config script that runs my site: CODE <? # Set up info for left column on the
top page: # It should begin with html tag <td> and finish with tag </td>

 valign='top'> <table width='100%'  bgcolor='#777799' border=0
cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'> <tr><td> <font
FACE='ARIAL, HELVETICA' color='#ffffff' size='-1'>

let's say that for whatever reason, let's say for a survey, i want to make a quiz like
w3schools.com has, only with PHP. i would want to put all the questions on different pages, also
like w3schools. could each of the submissions stay stored inside PHP's $_POST for 20
pages? if not, how could i get around it? PS. i really don't know anything about ASP other than
the fact that w3schools uses it. so please don't explain to me with ASP-specific terms......

Ok, so I'm using the include() function on my website. Problem is I'm trying to include a
search engine form into the layout which is stored in a variable, except the form has an if
statement in it and I can't seem to get it working. Here's the code I'm trying to
