PHP 'Variable variables' dont seem to work

Postby cretaceous » 03. March 2009 12:20

I've just moved over to Xampp and apart from Vista setup problems (scope for a sticky I think) it seems good

BUT parsing php "variable variables" does not work

so this script works fine on my other WAMP stack and works fine on Linux servers, but does not work on Xampp:
Code: Select all
$variables = array(
'itm_ord',
'itm_navttl'
);

ksort($variables);
ksort($_REQUEST);

foreach ($variables as $var) {
$$curvar=  mysql_escape_string(trim($_REQUEST[$var]));
}

// variable should now hold value of REQUEST object
echo $itm_ord;


any ideas why it is not working?

// variable should now hold value of REQUEST object

Why should this happens? You have only one variable variable, "$$curvar", but "$curvar" is nowhere defined.

(You should use error_reporting(E_ALL); to find such errors.)
