[PHP-DEV] PHP 4.0 Bug #6470: Variable variables with arrays From: drew <email protected>

Bug description: Variable variables with arrays

Is there any reason why this does not work :-

<?
$array = array("key" => "value");
$key = "[key]";

$variable_variable = "array${key}";

$value = $$variable_variable;

print $value;
?>

The only way around this seems to be eval. Not good.
